It has struggled for many days to install a Gentoo 2008 Linux with the default 2.6.25-r7 kernel. However, vmware cannot install the kernel, either workstation or server. The problem is that the vmmon module cannot be loaded, and the log discovery module cannot call the init_mm () function.

Searching for a lot of things found that there are many places where 2.6.25 is said to have a problem on this function, check the ChangeLog-2.6.25 found.

X86: delay the export removal of init_mm

Delay the removal of this symbol export by one more kernel release, giving external modules such as VirtualBox a chance to stop using it.

In the kernel code, it is only marked as UNUSED. You can enable the compilation option. Looking at the date, this change is already half a year ago. It seems that I am not concerned about Kernel backwardness for too long.
