it is in utsrelease.h.  Manually adding "#include utsrelase.h" to the

build fine, but building vmnet aborts with "unknown symbol

No easy way around this.....

The new kernel adds a new 'CONFIG_LOCKDEP' option that appears to add
some stuff (GPL code, I think) that 'breaks' the VMWare vmmon.

Here is a reference: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/4/247

Looks like Petr (from VMWare) is working on it (I hope!).

Until then, the last kernel that I've gotten VMWare working is
kernel-2.6.17-1.2339.fc6. Don't delete that one!
