vmware under hoary

Is your kernel built from the sources you have installed ?  If not, you
need to build a kernel from these sources, and then it should work
fine. Like the error message tells you:
"There is probably a slight difference in the kernel configuration
between the
set of C header files you specified and your running kernel. *You may
want to
rebuild a kernel based on that directory*"


BTW, in hoary amd64, the compile of vmmon kernel module fails, even
though the source is supposed to support compilation under 64 bit mode.
But I think some of the 64 bit macros used don't match the amd64 env.
I'd really love to have vmware working under 64-bit host OS (like it
claims to support), so I can start a 32-bit OS in a VM whenever I need
to run 32 bit kernel stuff.  Did anyone get it to work ?
