Public bug reported:
This is really a VMWare bug, but the vmmon and vmnet kernel modules
don't compile against 2.6.24, which is used by Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy
heron). Attached are two patches, which work on my machine running
VMWare workstation 5.5.8 and Ubuntu 8.04.1 (Kernel version 2.6.24-19).
To install VMWare using these patches, extract vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar
from vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source to new directories. Then apply
the appropriate patch to each directory, and create a new tarball. Copy
the new tarballs over the old ones in vmware-distrib/lib/modules/source
and run the vmware-install.pl script.
