In retrospective, it may very well be vmware 6.5's inability to handle the 2.6.35 kernel. I've run into similar problems many times when moving to a new kernel version on my bleeding edge gentoo desktop. I don't think much about vmware 6.5 as the desktop has a processor that the latest vmware tolerates. I know the drill with patching vmware; I'll try a patched 6.x kernel on my laptop in the next few days. In the meantime, keep the bug closed. Anybody using such an old laptop is better off with VirtualBox anyway. -- header files matching your running kernel were not found https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641882 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
