Ok, I figured something out. The second problem (not being able to build vmmon) is caused by fixing the first problem (the uniprocessor, multiprocessor problem). To fix the first problem, I had to add #define CONFIG_SMP 1 and comment out #undef CONFIG_SMP to my autoconf.h. So I did that and then I added a pause in the vmware-config.pl so that I could change it back to #define CONFIG_SMP right before it tries to build the modules. It got past the previous error, but now I get a new build error. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why I even have to edit my autoconf.h in the first place? I think there are some features missing in my kernel.
