Hi!
I have a problem with running vmware on between 2.6.12-rc2 and
2.6.12-rc5 kernels. I have no problem with 2.6.12-rc1.
Before running vmware:

With 2.6.12-rc1 vmware running perfectly.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Warnings printed while building vmnet module are important, you should
not have ignored them. You need vmware-any-any-update90, one
of API function changed its signature, but not sufficiently so thing
still builds (with warnings), but crashes at runtime.
