The vmware modules will not compile properly under 2.4.19-pre4-ac1, or under 2.4.19-pre2-ac2, but compile fine on their mainline kernel counterparts. Here is the errors that I get from vmware-config.pl:

Building the vmmon module.

Also, under 2.4.19-pre4-ac1, when the emu10k1 module is loaded, I get a large amount of constant static until I rmmod it. 2.4.19-pre4's initialization of the emu10k1 driver is fine, and when the emu10k1 driver is replaced with the latest CVS version of the emu10k1 driver, it initializes and performs normally.

I think it would be easy to fix.. He wrote this:

/lib/modules/2.4.19-pre4-ac1/build/include/linux/malloc.h:4: #error linux/malloc.h is deprecated, use linux/slab.h instead. make[2]: *** [driver.d] Error 1

So change in the file where it appeared the
#include <linux/malloc.h>
to
#include <linux/slab.h>

They'll fix it eventually / in the 3.1 release, but you can look in the source tarballs and change the #include to include slab.h instead of malloc.h if you're impatient.

See: /usr/lib/mvmware/modules/source/*.tar

Replace all #include <linux/malloc.h> by #include <linux/slab.h> as the #error says -- I tried that, and it works for me with 2.4.19-pre3-ac4.
