以上的compat_kernel.h定義與2.6.20的內核有不兼容的地方，那我們就來修改compat_kernel.h使其與compat_kernel.h與內核兼容就可以了。
首先備份原始文件，然後解壓vmmon.tar：
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/sourcesudo cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.oldsudo tar xvf vmmon.tarsudo gedit vmmon-only/include/compat_kernel.h
將21行:
static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code);
替換為：
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,19) static inline _syscall1(int, compat_exit, int, exit_code);#endif
然後重新打包vmmon.tar:
tar cvf vmmon.tar vmmon-onlyrm -rf vmmon-only
繼續編譯,vmmon模塊是編譯通過了，可是vmnet模塊又出現了如下的錯誤：

現在是vmnet的問題，同樣的我們要修改不兼容的代碼，然後重新編譯。
首先備份原始的vmnet.tar，並解壓：
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/sourcesudo cp vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.oldsudo tar xvf vmnet.tarsudo gedit vmnet-only/userif.c和bridge.c
將其中的CHECKSUM_HW替換成CHECKSUM_COMPLETE。
然後重新打包：
tar cvf vmnet.tar vmmon-onlyrm -rf vmnet-only
