Nate, I believe you are on the right track. I know this is not the type of feedback you need (or want) in this venue. After all, my virtual platform is Debian Sid, not Oneiric; and my kernel is 2.6.39-2, not 3.0-rc<x>. But the underlying problems seem to be from the same causes.
And I know all the dire warnings about installing Ubuntu binaries on Debian, or the reverse. But one of the reasons I virtualize non- production environments is so that I *can* screw them up ;-) But the great news is that DKMS *finally* doesn't croak: # dpkg -i *.deb Selecting previously deselected package open-vm-dkms.
