Vmware-server-1.0.6 is out of date, bug 245941 is about stabilizing vmware-server-1.0.8. Please give that version a try, and see if you're still getting the same issues. Please also check that vmware-modules has been compiled using the same compiler as the kernel (and without LDFLAGS set) and also please try the modules again without vboxdrv loaded. I'm going to mark the bug as TEST-REQUEST since I've asked you to try out a lot of different things. Do please re-open the bug once you've got the results, and let me know if there's been any improvement. Thanks... 5:)
I upgraded to gentoo-sources 2.6.25-r9 and re-installed all vmware stuff. Now all ok. Removing vboxdrv gave no effect. I'm going to test vmware-server 1.0.8 though.
