This workaround is only for kernel versions 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. You need to download this patch files from here in vmware-server-distrib directory. The patches are from vmware forum. You can use the following command to download patches: wget http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz After downloading extract vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz file tar xvzf vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.tgz Now run the patch script using the following command sh vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30.4-fix.shAfter completing the patch installation you need to remove /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary directory because the original VMware modules directory will confuse VMware: rm -rf /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary Now run vmware-config.pl script vmware-config.pl This should complete the vmware server installation.
