You don’t have development package for building kernel modules to match the kernel. It is required to build 3rd party modules such as vmware or graphics card drivers.

There is a package called kernel-devel. This package provides kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to build modules against the kernel package.

Login as the root, and use yum command to install the same:

# yum install kernel-devel

So I rebuilt the modules with these commands

vmware-modconfig –console –build-mod vmmon

vmware-modconfig –console –build-mod vmnet

vmware-modconfig –console –build-mod vmci

Then reloaded the modules

# modprobe vmmon

# modprobe vmnet

# modprobe vmci

Now I get;

[root@gemini ~]# service vmware restart
