VMware Question

[R Scott Belford]

I just had a trial version of VMware renewed because the kernel for my 
installation of Redhat 7.1 was later than 2.4.6.  It didn't work because 
they don't support any kernel version greater than 2.4.6.  They were 
nice enough to give me a second chance.  I wonder if this is related to 
your problems.  Vmware tech support suggested downgrading my kernel, but 
this didn't seem like a promising endeavor.  I'm just trying it on a 
debian install with kernel 2.2.19.
