As usual, brand new kernel woes with VMware. Here’s a quick way to patch up VMware 6.5.2 to get the modules to compile. Start by downloading and installing VMWare Workstation 6.5.2.
Once that’s done, run the following commands:
rmmod kvm_intel kvm
echo blacklist kvm >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
cd /tmp
wget www.offensive-security.com/tools/bt4-vmware-workstation-patch.tar.bz2
tar jxpf bt4-vmware-workstation-patch.tar.bz2
chmod 755 vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.29-fix*
