Hi Ryan, Sorry about the delay in replying. There's only a limited number of kernels that we're able to support, mostly because we're dependent upon vmware for their kernel code, which for vmware-server-1.0.8 isn't open source. They've recently open sourced the latest version of their modules (and 1.0.0.23 seems to build ok, but as you found out, won't work with vmware-server-1.0.8). As such the best recommendation I have is to upgrade to a more recent kernel. I believe it's definitely been tested down to 2.6.25, but my guess is will will work down to 2.6.22ish. That's just a guess however. I'm afraid since there's only me in the vmware group, and I've only got the one test box, I'm not able to ensure everything works out with every kernel. If you can find patches for the modules that work, I'll be happy to add them to the modules but there's not much more I can do. I'm sorry I can't be of more help... 5:(
Exactly the same error here with ~amd64 and kernel 2.6.29.
I'm also experiencing the same bug with 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 Is there any chance this will be fixed. Is there anything further I can do to help? I don't want to try vmware 2.0 as it's quite simply horrible, I really want to try and get vmware 1 working. Thanks Simon
I'm also having the problem. uname -a: Linux jpaton-desktop 2.6.29-gentoo-r5LJ1 #2 SMP Tue Jul 21 22:52:38 CDT 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

For the modules to load you must re-export symbol init_mm in the kernel, that will cause the kernel to print a warning in /var/log/messages saying that symbol is gonna be removed in the future, at least for now it is there so the modules work. To compile the modules with 2.6.30 you must apply the patch available at http://communities.vmware.com/thread/208963.
Also experiencing this issue with 2.6.31-gentoo-r4 kernel. I would also prefer to be able to get vmware-modules-1.0.0.15 to work to support vmware 5.5.
app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.24-r1 works correctly with kernel 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 Try with autounmask app-emulation/vmware-server-2.0.2.203138
I tried to install app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r2 today only to run into this bug. It seems I cannot install vmware-server-1 as a result.

I for one would like to downgrade. Server 2 is the most annoying thing in my life for the past 12 months, and I simply cannot endure it. Add to that, it won't start up properly since upgrading glib.

vmware-server 1.0.x and vmware-modules-1.0.0.1x are not in the portage anymore. Bug 354383.
