There is a specific error in the vmware vmmon-only / linux / hostif .c module file that incorrectly reads the CentOS version 8 account, corrupts the compiler and prevents installation.
To work around this issue, click Close with the error message “Not all modules can be installed.” Remember to leave the installer window ajar:
Extract the “hostif.c” file from the attached zip file in the / tmp folder, delete any existing shared installation folders by doing the following: –
perl -e ‘while (1) @ f = `ls -d / tmp / modconfig- * 2> / dev / null`; crunch @f; if (-d $ f [0]) `cp -a /tmp/hostif.c Foreach (@f); $ _ / vmmon-only / linux / `print” $ f n “; sleep (1); $ i ++; click on the “.”; exit (0) if ($ i> 10); ‘
Then click the Install button again in the VMware Kernel Module Updater.
For those interested, this is a solution that undoubtedly solves the problem:
