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!
I have not had a problem with vmware for a while after using the usual
vmware-any-any.tar.gz [ http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/ ]
