Actually, the necessary and sufficient steps on SUSE are:
make cloneconfig make prepare vmware-config.pl
Much faster than bzImage and modules.

Apparently, I do not completely get it. I followed this to try to install VM on new 9.2 installation and get error messages. While running vmware-config.pl I got to the line where it says no current module is ok so then asks to make a module. I said yes, and then the errors began with the conclusion that it could not build module.
You need to fully configure the kernel sources first. "fully configure" means, basically, actually starting the build, though you may break out of it. The easiest way to ensure the ".config" file matches the running version is to copy some variation of /boot/config* to /usr/src/linux/. Good luck.
Thanks, Bruce. I copied my /boot/config-2.6.8.24.5 file to /usr/src/linux, then I started a build, if I understood you correctly, with make config, then simply exited after a few steps with control-c. Then repeated the VMware build process and got the same result. Any other suggestions, or did I not follow the first ones correctly/closely enough? Richard
