Body
<ul> <li>VMware server 1.0.7 installed with vmware-package</li> <li>Debian GNU/Linux testing (lenny)</li> <li>Kernel 2.6.26-1-686</li> </ul> There were several compile problems when trying to build the binary kernel modules from the vmware-server-kernel-source package made by vmware-package from the VMware server tarball. Recently VMware has updated their kernel module sources so as to make them compatible with kernel 2.6.25, but they broke again with 2.6.26. <pre><code>vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:146: error: unknown field 'nopage' specified in initializer vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:147: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:150: error: unknown field 'nopage' specified in initializer vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:151: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type </code></pre> That's only the first error, but there are other compile problems (in vmnet-only). Many advice on forums are to use vmware-any-any instead, but that has its own problems (see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/109877/unknown-ioctl-2062-2065-2066-from-vmmon-when-starting-a-vm-vmware-server-107-fo">my other question</a>). As you can see from my own answer below, I've solved the problem by fixing the incompatiblities, and came up with a <a href="http://pastebin.com/f200c4eb0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">patch</a>. Now I'd like VMware to include it in future releases, to save me and others trouble of applying it by hand after every VMware or kernel upgrade. Question: where/how do I submit such fixes to VMware?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
