A significant difference between the pre-compiled 2.6.18-1-686
kernel and the source code, is that the source code by default
creates version 2.6.18 and NOT 2.6.18-1-686. This version
difference could cause the compile problem?
No! Since 2.6.18 we're using include/linux/utsrelease.h instead of
include/linux/version.h. Either the vm-sources have to be patched or
as you suggested use a selfconfigured (compiled) kernel.
Have you applied the "vmware-any-any-XXX" updates(1)?
I get zero problems running VMware on a stock Debian kernel.

Greg, the patch worked perfectly here, thanks. vmware is running as I type.
Jan, I am using a stock kernel, no compile here. I installed the sources
to try to
workaround vmware.
