You probably need to apply the vmware any-any patch (search on
vmware.com); see 
www.vmware.com/community/message.jspa?messageID=439133

BTW, when you get around to upgrading to 2.6.17, you might need to check
out www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=432775.  I had to
do these edits before VMWare worked for me on 2.6.17 + Debian.

Good Luck, HTH
