I really hate posters who moan, groan and use generalities to describe
their problem.
VMware makes numerous products  Please provide the following so we do
not have to play 20 questions.

1. Which VMware product (server, workstation, or player) are you using?
2. What is the version of that product?
3. What is the host OS?
4. What is the version of the FC6 kernel?
5. If you are using VMware Workstation have you patched VMware Tools
so that it will compile without errors? (Hint, you need to manually
patch vmxnet.c for it to work with kernels 2.6.19 and above.)
