Thanks for your response. I just realized that the problem lies on
udevfs. I searched in google and found the following tricks from
http://www.braincells.com/debian/2004/05/


1.  rm /etc/vmware/not_configured if it exists.
2.  copy the following code into /etc/init.d/vmware around line 805.
Just before where the case "$1" in start) line is.

        for a in `seq 0 9`; do
        mknod /dev/vmnet$a c 119 $a > /dev/null 2>&1
        done
        mknod /dev/vmmon c 10 165 > /dev/null 2>&1
        

3.  Now run /etc/init.d/vmware start and the program should work again.


It solved the problem... ;)
