Is this install method ‘dated’? Which kernels and vmware versions does this instaltion method work with, i.e. ubuntu 64-bit 2.6.24-19-server and VMware-server-1.0.7-108231.

Tin, I don’t know if this problem exists in VMWare 6 but for 5.5 series this won’t be fixed ever, afaik it is not maintained any longer.
