This is contradicted by the custom kernels not having this problem. > As for VMWare, the Ubuntu wiki listed the prereqs that I needed and after > they're installed you can install VMWare just like normal. > > https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware_Guide%3a_Installing_VMware_Server_on_Ubuntu_6%2e06_LTS_amd64 Thanks for the link, but: -the machine having problems is not running a 64bit kernel -I already installed kernel headers and tried pointing the vmware-config to many places without success. Again these troubles aren't present when running custom kernels. 2 out of the 3 machines I'm tried to run deb. kernels on failed. The third on is running just fine. -- When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
