after the step :
Code:
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb linux-headers-2.6.31.4-custom_2.6.31.4-custom-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
retrurn the follow message

fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
when I install or remove a program, the system return the follow error

The question : do you think is possible to install the vmware-server-1.0.10 onto ubuntu 9.10 server with the last kernel ?

No, you will have to rebuild the kernel as explained in the tutorial.

Default the kernel release
In original installation (ubuntu 9.10 server AMD64) the kernel was 2.6.31-14-server
after upgrade was 2.6.31-16-server

after rebuild is 2.6.31.4-custom

the question : do you think it's possible to compile the kernel with the (last) release 2.6.31-server ?

If yes : how to do it ? and in the next relese I will recompile the kernell every upgrade ?


best regards.

HNY for all.
