From: Joe Conway <mail@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Here's what I did -- use at your own risk ;-)
Perhaps an even easier solution....
VMWare has released an update to VMWare Workstation 4.5. Upgrade to 4.5.2 build 8848. I simply downloaded the rpm, upgraded and re-ran vmware-config.pl and that compile problem went away. Seems to incorporate some or all of the updates from vmware-any-any-update##.tar.gz.
Thanks. I didn't know that was available -- it wasn't when I first started playing with the 2.6.6 kernel.
BTW, I had no problems with VMWare Workstation 4.5.1 build 7568 under FC2 2.6.5-1.358 and now seem to be having success with VMWare Workstation 4.5.2 build 8848 under FC2 2.6.6-1.427.
I've had no problems with VMWare Workstation 4.5.1 build 7568 under FC2 2.6.5-1.358 or FC2 2.6.6-1.427 (using the above mentioned hack). I guess I'll be moving to vmware 4.5.2 soon though.
