parallels tools installation failes on 2.6.36 and 2.6.37

hello everybody,

i installed a linux guest with kernel 2.6.37 (tried 2.6.36 too) in parallels 6 and try to install parallels
tools now. But it failes while compiling the kernel modules with following output:

"Fehler" is german for error.

can i do something to fix it or do i have to wait for a version of parallels tools compatible with 2.6.37?

thx in advance,
Yevgeniy.

 

wow, i have not expect that much help.

nevermind, got it running myself. i have attached a patch, which lets you compile parallels tools agains kernel 2.6.37 (should work with 2.6.37 as well). as usual - use on your own risk.

bye.

 

i have cleaned up the patch a little bit.

 

Hi, could you tell me how to use this patch file with the mounted tools directory. I've rsynced the /media/Parallels Tools directory so I can apply the patch but can't find the files I should be patching. Any help would be appreciated.

regards

 

hello RichardWa,

here you will find instructions on how to apply the patch.

Bye.

 

Thank you very much for your help

 

Worked like a charm!!! Thank a lot!

 

I don't suppose you've gotten it to work with 2.6.38

 

I cant get this patch working..
First i move to the cd directory:
cd media/parallels\ Tools

Then i try to run the patch in this way:
cat ~/prl_tools-2.6.37-v2.patch | patch -p1
but i get this error:

 

Maybe a permission problem? try doing it as root

 

I've already tried as root..but i think the problem is:
