Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 7 VMware Tools Problems

25. Oktober 2011

Falls man einen Fehler wie diesen bei der Installation der VMware Tools auf einem frisch Installierten Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 7 bekommt:

FreeFontPath: FPE “unix/:7100” refcount is 2, should be 1; fixing.
Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel.
No module ehci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek, aborting.
ERROR: “/sbin/mkinitrd -f –with=vmxnet3 –with=vmw_pvscsi –with=vmxnet

/boot/initrd-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek.img 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek” exited with
non-zero status.

Your system currently may not have a functioning init image and may not boot
properly. DO NOT REBOOT! Please ensure that you have enough free space
available in your /boot directory and run this configuration script again.

Execution aborted.

Kann man das mit Hilfe von diesem Befehl bereinigen:

cp /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/?hci-hcd.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek/kernel/drivers/usb/host

.csharpcode, .csharpcode pre { font-size: small; color: black; font-family: consolas, “Courier New”, courier, monospace; background-color: #ffffff; /*white-space: pre;*/ } .csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .rem { color: #008000; } .csharpcode .kwrd { color: #0000ff; } .csharpcode .str { color: #006080; } .csharpcode .op { color: #0000c0; } .csharpcode .preproc { color: #cc6633; } .csharpcode .asp { background-color: #ffff00; } .csharpcode .html { color: #800000; } .csharpcode .attr { color: #ff0000; } .csharpcode .alt { background-color: #f4f4f4; width: 100%; margin: 0em; } .csharpcode .lnum { color: #606060; }

Danach kann man die VMware Tools wie gewohnt installieren.

./vmware-install.pl

Und schon funktioniert es
