    Hi Mark and everybody else who may be concerned about this. The problem is
    solved. vmware is now running fine on the latest suse 9.0 patch kernel,
    2.4.21-192. The guilty party is the vmnet.o module. You don't want to use
    the one that is being supplied by the km_vmware package! Use the one that
    is being generated by running vmware-config.pl. However, you do want to
    use the vmmon.o that comes from km_vmware. I am also using vmppuser.o
    derived from km_vmware (I don't think it actually matters as it doesn't
    seem to get transplanted by the config script). That's all. Good luck,
    Alex.
