I have a fresh install of 6.4 community on ESXi 5.1 I'm trying to get the vmxnet3 driver installed. VMware Tools will install just fine but the driver will not. here is the error message:
"If you wish to have the fast network driver enabled, you can install the driver
by running vmware-config-tools.pl again after making sure that gcc, binutils,
make and the kernel sources for your running kernel are installed on your
machine. These packages are available on your distribution's installation CD."
when I do uname -r and rpm -q kernel-devel the two don't fully match. output is below:
[root@fw include]# uname -r
2.6.32-431.1.2.v6.x86_64
[root@fw include]# rpm -q kernel-devel
kernel-devel-2.6.32-431.3.1.v6.x86_64
I used yum install to install packages both gcc & kernel-devel. The repos in use are below:
repo id repo name status
clearos ClearOS Community 6 - x86_64 - OS 823
clearos-addons ClearOS Community 6 - x86_64 - Addons 51
clearos-extras ClearOS Community 6 - x86_64 - Extras 195
clearos-updates ClearOS Community 6 - x86_64 - Updates 442
private-clearcenter-dyndns private-clearcenter-dyndns 2
Any ideas?

Hi,
I've got quite the same issue on COS 6.5 where kernel downloaded is not the rights one as described here
A reboot do not change anything. -
