Re: Debian kernel VMware
When I build kernel from sources (using kernel-package) vmware completely hangs my box (I must use reset button). just an idea: vmware builds its own kernel modules. if you change the kernel, you might need to re-run vmware-config.pl -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus! Copy me into your ~/.signature, please! -- Linux - the last service pack you'll ever need.

Re: Debian kernel VMware
I had the same problem until I compiled with the parallel port as a module (I usually compile everything into the kernel). There's a note somewhere on the VMware install site that implied a parallel module was required.

There's a note somewhere on the VMware install site that implied a parallel module was required. I compiled paralled port as module. The effect was the same. I found with depmod that vmmon, vmnet and vmppuser modules all had unresolved external references, so I recompiled them by hand from sources. And nothing changed.
