upgrade to 2.4.27 kills VMWare?
Hi, I was running VMWare on kernel 2.4.26 and now
that I seem to have apt-get upgrade'd myself into
2.4.27 VMWare won't run.
I says I should reconfigure it, but when I do I get the
following error:
------------
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your
running
kernel? [/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-686/build/include]

---------
This is only an evaluation version of vmware, and it was working
well under 2.4.26, so I ordered a copy (yet to arrive). I would
hate to move to one of the linux distros that they support and would
prefer to stay with debian. Any suggestions on why the compiling might
have worked under 2.4.26 and doesn't under 2.4.27. Help?
