I have updated my Kali to the latest kernel version - 4.6.0-kali1-amd64
After doing so, my Vmware workstation has stopped working.
I tried running 'vmware-modconfig --console --install-all' after reading some posts online but of no use.
I think that vmware does not support this kernel version.
Is there any way to get this working.?
hi :-) if this can be a help:

I am using 64 bit version of Kali, still stuck with the same kernel version even after trying dist-upgrade. :-(
Solution or Workaround: Modify 2 files in /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmmon.tar and /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tarQuote:

3- Replace "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"
4- tar and replace original
5- Extract /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source/vmnet.tar
6- Modify ./vmnet-only/userif.c
7- Replace "get_user_pages" to "get_user_pages_remote"
8- tar and replace original
Now you should be able to compile the modules successfully.
Tested on Kali Linux 2016 with kernel 4.6.
This solution worked for me, thanks!Quote:
