Is that the end of the log? Those warnings are not unusual, but (in
Workstation, at least) they are usually followed by messages about
success loading the vmmon module, then attempts to compile and load the
vmnet module. Your log has no indication of an actual error that stops
the build, but no indication of success either.
If the build really did succeed, then can you post the result of trying
to start the VM from a command line? Is there anything unusual in dmesg
or /var/log/messages about starting the service at boot?
