2.4.7 appears to break vmware (latest build: 1142.) Looks like some #defines moved. The vmmon build produces the following noise:

Doubtless were looking at the result of an inappropriate dependency on the part of vmware. I'm not expecting any sort of help or fix. This is just an FYI for those that need to emulate windows.

Patch exists since friday and it was already discussed on linux-kernel. You should refresh your vmmon.tar and vmnet.tar with:

ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmnet-204-for-2.4.6.tar.gz

Will these patches appear in a new vmware build? If so, can you give an E.T.A.?

Thanks
