Try the patch for vmware at:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmware-ws-1455-update12.tar.gz
I patched prior to apt-get upgrading a few weeks ago, and it
works works fine. I understand that it fixes some, if not all,
the problems with VMWare and Debian sid right now.
I'm also using kernel 2.4.17, but not SMP, and VMWare 3.0.
bash-2.05b$
