I previously had this problem on an older Kernel but after upgrading to Fedora 33, the fix does not work.

I have tried GitHub – mkubecek/vmware-host-modules: Patches needed to build VMware (Player and Workstation) host modules against rece…

but that does not work using the tagged release – https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/archive/w15.5.6-k5.8.tar.gz

I’m getting the following on the “make” which I assume is related to using Fedora 33 –

make VM_UNAME=”`uname -r`”

Using standalone build system.

Anyone able to help me do the CONFIG_MODULES to be able to build this.  I would much appreciate it.

Thanks!
