Craig,
I have VMWare Workstation 4.5.2 Build 8848 (stock, no vmupdates) running
just fine on FC2, updated to the latest kernel (2.6.8-1.521). The
reason I did not jump in on the earlier post, is that mine is on a
Pentium M processor and he was having problems on the AMD64.... So the
problem would seem to point to processor architecture, unless he has a
configuration problem....
Remember to re-run vmware-config.pl each time you install a new kernel
to copy the modules into the new /lib/modules/<kernel-version>/
directory structure....
HTH,
