I untarred it to /tmp and, as root, I run: /tmp/vmware-any-any-update45/runme.pl
Then the script stopped VMware services, went to recompile both vmnet.o and vmmon.o, and then started the services again.
Launched VMware as usual, tried to boot the same guest operating system I used on yesterday's BUG report, and got the messages in the log.
What I am going to try now is to completely uninstall VMware, install it from scratch and apply vmware-any-any-update45.tar.gz and see how it goes (to avoid previously applied patches or manual modifications to VMware sources done by me making some difference).
Installed the VMware version shown above (via vmware-install.pl), skipping the configuration part. Then I run "runme.pl" from the VMware update version 45 to configure VMware and compile modules against my current and configured 2.6.0-test9-mm4 kernel sources.
Started Vmware, tried to boot the guest operating system I have always tried to boot during these tests and the result is the same as before, including the BUG.
Hope this helps.
PS: just in case anyone sees it other way, I am just trying to help giving information about a problem with a propietary application and their binary only modules just in case this can unveil some sort of kernel problem, but I am NOT trying to urge anyone to give me (us) a fix.
