Reason for closing:  Duplicate
Additional comments about closing:  New  FS#35255  already opened. It is probably different problem.

i had a similar issue with virtualbox modules. the same building script was working fine on past kernels and now i had to pass the correct symver s file

http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk/vboxbuild?h=packages/virtualbox&id=3f100efff58074fc4ec83be5b1e291075ab6779e

pretty much is an upstream Makefile problem

I confirm the issue. At boot time, the following message is displayed on the console:

FATAL: Error inserting vmhgfs (/lib/modules/3.1.0-4-ARCH/extramodules/vmhgfs.ko)
: Invalid argument

The message is NOT displayed if I type /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start.

But:

sudo insmod vmhgfs.ko
insmod: error inserting 'vmhgfs.ko': -1 Invalid parameters

Hope this helps.

With open-vm-tools 1:9.2.3-1 and open-vm-tools-modules 1:9.2.3-2 both compiled against the latest kernel in ABS, I see this same (or a very similar) problem.

The exact message from dmesg is:

[ 44.739565] vmhgfs: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_Send (err 0)
[ 44.739632] vmhgfs: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_DestroyHnd (err 0)
[ 44.739638] vmhgfs: Unknown symbol VMCIDatagram_CreateHnd (err 0)
