Try this:
0) Uninstall VMware
1) In the vmware-distrib directory (as root) untar the driver-only.tar file:
tar xvf driver-only.tar
2) Modify vmware-distrib/driver-only/common/hostif.h by replacing 0xc0000000
with 0x80000000
3) Recreate the tar file with the following command:
tar cvf driver-only.tar driver-only/*
4) Reinstall VMware (./install.pl)
The vmware-prob has something to do with the large kernel support in M's
kernels. The prob is known to vmware.inc and will be dealt with.
