Thanks for the reply. I copied the files to /usr/src/linux/include/linux Got me a step further: /lib/modules/2.4.2-4GB/build/include/linux/config.h:2: unterminated character constant make[2]: *** [driver.d] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/driver-2.4.2-4GB' make[1]: *** [deps] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only' make: *** [auto-build] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only' Unable to build the vmmon module.

Ok so you finally installed lx_suse24 from the 7.1 tree. Remember the kernel packages in the update tree are older. Now you figure vmware is ready to get done installing. But no SuSE calls its kernel 2.4.2-4Gb (ver 11) but it's kernel from source is 2.4.2 (SuSE-6)and vmware chokes.
See the reasoning above. All files that need to be replaced to properly build the kernel are in /boot: vmlinuz.autoconf.h, vmlinuz.config and vmlinuz.version.h. vmlinuz.autoconf.h and vmlinuz.version.h. have to be copied into /usr/src/linux/include/linux/{version,autoconf}.h Now the compilation should do fine.
