I am running "Linux saidin 2.6.14.3 #1 SMP Sat Dec 10 11:17:02 EST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux" on an ASUS A8V-Deluxe+Wifi + AMD64 3800+ x2.
I went through similar problems trying to get GSX 3.2 running. Here is my "quick list" of steps that got me working in case I have to do it again: . Get AnyAny update . install ia32-libs . install ia32 base Debian to /emul/ia32-linux (chroot location) using debootstrap . install GSX . update /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd to point to the /emul/ia32-linux libs directory (otherwise authentication via vmware-authd won't work) My main stumbling point was not using debootstrap to set up a full ia32 chroot (ie. ia32-libs is not enough). Once I had done this, compiling the vmware kernel modules and running vmware wasn't a problem. I followed the instructions in https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html for running debootstrap.
