Bug#425692: vmware won't install either
With the "experimental" paravirtualization options enabled, it is also
impossible to load the VMware kernel modules. I find this ironic since
VMware contributed the paravirtualization code to the kernel. ;-)

And dmesg reports:

Forum post where I found that disabling paravirtualization fixes it:

Doing my own make-kpkg now but I hope this is disabled in mainstream soon
since for the time being, not having it is more useful than having it :-)
Thanks,
Tyler
