I could install vmware and run it. The only way to compile in this kernel is using any any 116. But when i start the vm i got the message "vmware expecting 161.0, got 167.0". I'm using Debian Lenny Beta 2 Kernel 2.6.24-1 and vmware 6.0.0 45731. I extracted vmmon-only.tar from any any 116, and changed this 2 files: vmmon-only/include/iocontrols_compat.h (Line 18) vmmon-only/include/iocontrols.h (Line 48) 167 to 161 and it workout. A re-run vmware-config.pl [] Hi,

The vmware installation was the original one as on OpenSuSE 10.3, where the appropriate any-any patch was installed earlier. After the upgrade it was only needed to apply the vmware-any-any-update-117-very-ALPHA patch as offered here above. The vmware-config.pl script complained: 'Your kernel was built with "gcc" version "4.3.1", while you are trying to use "/usr/bin/gcc" version "4.3".' but that is incorrect, installed is also gcc 2.3.1. Dunno why vmware doesn't get it. Just ignore the warning and compile anyway. Works perfectly on an OpenSuSe 11 (i386), after upgrade from OpenSuSe 10.3.
