Sounds exactly like the problem I ran into where when during the install it tried to compile the vmmon module and puked. I found a fix by using the 'vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz' to replace the module source which was causing the problem. After that it compiled without major problems. ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz Also, I am using kernel 2.4.9 and the fact that the file indicates "for 2.4.7 only" did not prevent it from working with 2.4.9. -- Jeremiah Mahler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
