VMWare 1.1.1



I am trying to get VMware 1.1.1 to install on my VALinux dual 550Mhz PIII
running Kernel 2.2.12-6.2smp.

Everything installs fine until it comes to the vmware kernel modules. The
modules will not compile when SMP in enabled.

But the error looks like it's inside the kernel source tree.

% make
Dependencies for driver.c
Compiling  linux/driver.c
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/smp.h: In function `hard_smp_processor_id':
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/smp.h:11,
                 from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sched.h:20,
                 from .././linux/driver.c:21:
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/smp.h:209: warning: implicit declaration of

/usr/src/linux/include/asm/smp.h:209: `APIC_ID' undeclared (first use in this
function)
make[1]: *** [driver.o] Error 1
make: *** [driver] Error 2

Grepping through the source, I see that APIC_* defs are all in the
asm/i82489.h file. 

I have tried including the i82489.h, which wanted the asm/fixmap.h which
wants, ..,  ..,  .., etc. You get the picture.

Anyone have the problems? I have sent in a troubleticket to VMWare.
