VMware server problems with the new F8 kernel

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

With the new kernel

kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8

I get the following problem when running

 /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl  :


  CC [M]  /tmp/vmware-config3/vmmon-only/common/cpuid.o
In file included from include/asm/bitops.h:2,
                 from /tmp/vmware-config3/vmmon-only/./include/vcpuset.h:74,

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
