Hi,
Just an FYI -- I just grabbed 2.6.16 and installed it without a
problem. However, when I went to rebuild the nvidia module and vmware
modules, I discovered that the lack of a definition for
KBUILD_BASENAME in linux/include/linux/spinlock.h cause these
components' builds to fail. I added a stupid workaround and was able
to build and install these components, but I wanted to bring this to
your attention.
Best wishes,
---S

Do post the note to Nvidia -- they need small fix in conftest.sh
then things work mostly, but I am not 100% sure that things do
work with 2.6.16 (this issue was with nvsound module, I think.)

For VMware either grab VMware Server beta (though I believe that it is broken
due to '(unsigned long)' added to PAGE_OFFSET; it will be fixed in next beta),
or grab updated modules from
