Hello Lamar & ccrma
[veery late reply....]
Thanks for the tip. It worked flawlessly...almost. I only had to settle for the second latest vmware player (2.0.3) to make it work.
Thanks again,
Erik Steinholtz

Hello carmers,
trying the 2.6.24.7.ccrma-rt kernel, I am running into problems with recompiling vmware drivers. I remember similar errors when trying the 2.6.24.3 kernel earlier.
I've got to admit that I probably won't try to change the code etc - it's a bit beyond my scope. But if someone has advise on how this'd be fixed - great. Otherwise, I'll just lean back comfotably on my 2.6.22...
Cheers, Erik

You need the 'any-any' patch installed. See
http://symbolik.wordpress.com/2008/02/12/vmware-any-any-update116/
I just recompiled the support modules for this latest ccrma-rt kernel, and
with those patches it compiled fine. Note that the patches must be applied
to a pristine VMware installation; that means you need to uninstall
completely, then reinstall, apply the patches, and configure. The patch
includes a script and a README on the process.
The patchset is currently at revision 116; that's the one I have running with
VMware Workstation 6.
