This is contradicted by the custom kernels not having this problem.

Thanks for the link, but:
-the machine having problems is not running a 64bit kernel
-I already installed kernel headers and tried pointing the vmware-config
to many places without success.

Again these troubles aren't present when running custom kernels. 2 out of
the 3 machines I'm tried to run deb. kernels on failed. The third on is
running just fine.

 When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
