Hi, I have this one:

Update started
Version on server (41640) is not newer than system version (41640)
Update complete - System already up-to-date at version 41640

Kernel version

Linux clr-72394e176bf344798636fe80337844ee 6.8.8-1430.native #1 SMP Sat Apr 27 08:47:05 PDT 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Bundle installed

 - linux-dev
 - kernel-install
 - kernel-native
 - kernel-native-dkms
 - c-basic

When I run the VMware Workstation to setup the modules I got this output:

[-Wimplicit-function-declaration] looks like the version of the vmware modules you are using isn't compatible with the 6.8 kernel. also since most of the vmware modules are (also) upstream I'm surprised there is a need to add custom ones

The path for kernel 6.9+ is now at <linux/timex.h>, not <asm/timex.h>

Thanks for taking the time to help me, The solution works partially because the vmnet does not load.

When I try to load vmnet module I get this:

sudo modprobe -v vmnet
insmod /lib/modules/6.8.8-1430.native/misc/vmnet.ko

It keeps trying to load the module kernel but no expires.

It's freaky, because the module seems loaded:

Works perfectly in 6.8.10-1434.native but It does not work in the latest kernel 6.9.1. It's reported on the upstream.

It is not compatible with 6.9 kernel, you have to use 6.8 or lts
