I know it may not be a direct solution for you, but I was using VMWare server quite happily for a while on F8-F10 and Ubuntu and now moved to VirtualBox 2.2.4 on which I installed winXP to win2K8, F10, F11, SUSE, Debian and Ubuntu with no issues

I installed VMware on F11 and the patch and it started fine for me, but when I tried to install WinXP as a guest OS my system locked up solid. By default vmware looks for files in ~./vmware if you moved it and didn't change the config you'll get this error. I also get the errors shown below during the install.

Installing VMware Workstation 6.5.2

I also see the following error during compile

This happens on several files. However, it does seem to work in the end.

I performed a fresh install of F11, then installed
VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735.x86_64.rpm. Installed the patch for
kernel-2.6.29 from http://communities.vmware.com/thread/203231. Now,
when I try to start a VM, I get a message that the .vmdk file can't be
found. The message pop-up lets me browse to the location of the file.
File not found: xxx.vmdk
This file is required to power on the virtual machine. If this
file was moved, please provide its new location.
But the file has not been moved, and when I select the file from the
browser, VMware still refuses to start.
Turning selinux to non-enforcing doesn't help. Problem occurs with
Workstation and Player. Everything worked fine with F10, including with
a 2.6.29 test kernel.
Anybody seen this? Anybody know a solution?
TIA.
