I got past this (stuck elsewhere but that's another issue). For anyone else who has this issue: VMware forum: http://kb.vmware.com/vmtnkb/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=VMTN-F219-T41713-M434746&sliceId=M434746&dialogID=9449162&stateId=0%200%209441841&doctag=Forum%20Posts I changed references to linux/version.h "A somewhat cleaner solution is to edit vmware-config-tools.pl - go to check_answer_headerdir() line 1293 (in my version), change references to linux/version.h to linux/utsrelease.h " Thanks.

Thanks. I'll check it out. By not installed properly can you expand on that. The kernel is in /boot - in fact it's my default kernel I boot to.
Did you name the kernel for instance vmlinuz-(name of the modules directory under /lib/modules) and is your initrd also named initrd-(modules directory name)? Did you copy the System.map there named System.map-(modules directory name)? It seems that these names must match the modules directory. When you run make modules_install, it looks for those files in /boot. It also creates a link to the source directory. You can boot a kernel and it seems able to find it's modules even if the names don't match, but it causes a symbol lookup failure and causes some things to break. HTH.
