I had this problem as well sometime back. I never actually got a handle on
exactly what was going on, but here is my take. I'm not an expert, but I
got it to work. When you recompile your kernel, the header files change. If
you try to configure VMWare and the current header files are not those used
to generate the running kernel you get the error you see. So it seems you
have to use VMWare under the Kernel corresponding to the most recent header
files. I could not find a way around this and basically recompiled the
kernel, replaced the running kernel and then configured VMWare.
Cheers,
Scott
