2.4.7 appears to break vmware (latest build: 1142.) Looks like some
#defines moved. The vmmon build produces the following noise:

Unable to build the vmmon module.
Doubtless were looking at the result of an inappropriate dependency on
the part of vmware. I'm not expecting any sort of help or fix. This
is just an FYI for those that need to emulate windows.

Patch exists since friday and it was already discussed on linux-kernel.
You should refresh your vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar with:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmnet-204-for-2.4.6.tar.gz
Best regards,

Will these patches appear in a new vmware build? If so,
can you give an E.T.A.?
Thanks
