This is more of a general discussion point and hopefully a single place where VMWare users can locate information concerning this issue (including resolutions). I'm a newer Fedora user (F25) and enjoy the product VMWare has created for this community. It's superior to Qemu and Virtual Box in terms of fidelity and performance. The only problem is that with every kernel upgrade, VMWare needs to recompile itself in order to continue working. Right now the latest we have is a patch for 4.9 with 4.13 being the latest kernel used on F25. I'm curious to see what solutions you all have come up with to solve this problem.
Hi,
VMware just released an update the other day.
Have you tried with version 12.5.3 ?
Fixes for the 4.9 kernel are on the list of resolved issue in the readme:
