1 David - at this point I'd try a couple of things. Since you've upgraded
2 your linux-headers, it's a good idea to recompile your system libc, as
3 per the elog message.
4
5 Also, since you're getting version error messages, recompile your kernel
6 and reboot into it. Just to make sure, as you've just done headers and
7 libc (may be a long shot, but may as well rule it out).
8
9 Then unload all vm* modules and recompile them also. (Say no to all
10 vmware-config questions first, then second time around say yes!). If it
11 doesn't work, downgrade to a previous version of modules and try them.
12 I use vmware-modules-1.0.0.11-r1 because that's the only version that
13 works with workstation 4, which I have a license for.
14
15 Finally, if this all still fails, try with an earlier kernel and see if
16 it magically works. Then you know it's probably a new kernal feature
17 thats bugging you!

19 I hope you have a few spare clock cycles for all this compiling :)
