If you update you Linux and VMware just went down and saying that
it needs to compile somethings and load some modules to your kernel and
then every thing goes wrong
I tried a lot of patches on the net and nothing works for kernel 2.6.40 and later
and after investing a lot of time in this problem here is the solution
I made a new post that contains the solution to all VMware installation problems on Linux
You can visit it HERE
This is an update for this topic
before doing the steps you need to download a patch and apply it then
you can do the steps if the patch did not bear fruit
to download the patch Click Here
The maker of the patch is from
I executed the patch but only executing it is not enough and i found that the files are not in its place so now we are going to put the in place
Note: if you use VMware 8 this steps do not work this topic goes for VMware 8
Now if the path did not work it does not mean that it did not do its job
Th problem is that the fixed modules are not in its place so by following this steps you will but the modules in its right place
First of all log into your system as root using
6- Run the a VMware product ( Workstation or Player) and it will compile and load the necessary modules to your kernel
** Note that i have uploaded the modules that is working for my Linux (Fedora 15 with kernel 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64 Using Xfce desktop environment)

First of all log into your system as root using
su1- Go to
/usr/lib/vmware/modules2- Copy its content to any place, in my case i copied it to
~/Desktop/New Folder3- Extract the tar file you copied each one to its own folder and make sure that you have the following folders contains some folders and file that VMware will use
vmblock-only4- In command line go to:
vmci-only
vmmon-only
vmnet-only
vsock-only
/tmp/vmware-root5- Copy the tar files and the extracted folders directly to this folder.
6- Run the a VMware product ( Workstation or Player) and it will compile and load the necessary modules to your kernel
