Thank you, lamp.

Yay!

Got VMware server running on a Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 4
Kernel: 2.6.37.5
RAIDiator: 4.2.17

[Progressed]

After making my first VM with a install iso mounted of Suse i encountered an error in the eventviewer of VMware webclient...

Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 208.0, got 238.0. You have an incorrect version of the `vmmon' kernel module. Try reinstalling VMware Server.

hoping that someone can help me with the error... the server is trying to start but stops at 95% en exits with above code! Someone?

You wont believe it if i said 🙂

no really... i wanted to start all over again to make a installguide... i never got where i was 😞 so i gave up!

I installed VirtualBox 4.0.10 instead...

Since this no longer works with higher build - how do I removed it so I can upgrade my Readynas firmware?

Thanks.

Anyone have this going on 4.2.17+ now or still broken?

I'm just a fellow user, but olbjan's post indicates it will never work on newer kernels. I was hoping to stick with it, but the price on 3tb disks is driving me to upgrade.
As I see it you can go to installing esxi on another device and use the same share to the run the vms or move to Virtualbox.
I think the only way to get rid of the old VMware server install is do a factory reset though.

I got stuck in this step:
make ARCH=x86_64 oldconfig && make ARCH=x86_64

with the error:
make: *** No rule to make target `oldconfig'. Stop.

can anyone help??

Follow the VBox guide for building the kernel @ http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26468&start=390. Procedure should be the same even though you are using 4.2.11.

make ARCH=x86_64 oldconfig && make ARCH=x86_64

Can't get past this point.

make: *** No rule to make target `OLDCONFIG'. Stop.

Any ideas.
