Yes.

My solution is using the latest f8 kernel-2.6.24.5-85.fc8, when I want 
to run vmware-server-1.0.5
Since I also use the f9 kernel, I made my runlevel 4 not have vmware 
service activated, and modified my grub for the newer kernel to start 
runlevel 4.

Get's around the incompatibility for me ;-)
