Oracle Linux 5.7安装VMware Tools的问题

案例环境介绍：

虚拟机的版本：VMware? Workstation 8.0.3 build-703057 操作系统版本：Oracle Linux Server release 5.7

在安装虚拟机工具时，执行./vmware-install.pl 命令后一步一步操作，最后出现如下错误信息,安装程序aborted：

Creating a new initrd boot image for the kernel. No module ehci-hcd found for kernel 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek, aborting. ERROR: "/sbin/mkinitrd -f --with=vmxnet3 --with=vmw_pvscsi --with=vmxnet /boot/initrd-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek.img 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek" exited with non-zero status.

Your system currently may not have a functioning init image and may not boot PRoperly. DO NOT REBOOT! Please ensure that you have enough free space available in your /boot directory and run this configuration script again.

Execution aborted.

解决方法介绍：

Google了一些资料后，终于找到了一个解决方法：拷贝一些文件到对应目录即可解决这个错误。如下所示：将这些文件拷贝到/lib/modules/2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek/kernel/drivers/usb/host目录下

[root@DB-Server host]# ls /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/?hci-hcd.ko 

/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ohci-hcd.ko

/lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/uhci-hcd.ko

[root@DB-Server host]# cp /lib/modules/2.6.18-274.el5/kernel/drivers/usb/host/?hci-hcd.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek/kernel/drivers/usb/host

拷贝完这些文件后，执行perl安装脚本vmware-install.pl重新安装VMware Tools即可安装成功。安装过程如下所示：

[root@DB-Server vmware-tools-distrib]# ./vmware-install.pl
