They ship a new version, it offers update, downloads fine, installs with a breeze and
... zilch ...
crashes on restart.
vmmon and vsocks do not compile.
How many time does that have to happen?
Here is a patch:
patch-modules.sh
vmware-7.1-2.6.35-3-generic.patch
Download both. Then:
chmod u+x patch-modules.shThis script will save the original driver tars, patch them and run the module installation script.
sudo ./patch-modules.sh
VMware Workstation should start fine.

Wow, thanks for posting this, it fixed my only issue with my Meerkat upgrade.
Thank you. Patch worked perfectly on 7.1.0.261024
Thank you very much for this patch, it successfully compiled all VMWare-Modules.
Unfortunately VMware Workstation (7.1.2, right version) always crashes if I click on "create a new Virtual Machine". Do you have any advices for my problem?
