    I have vmware version VMware-workstation-4.5.2-8848 running flawlessly on
    SuSE 9.2 both on regular i386 and amd64 platforms. The only problem I had
    was after a recent YOU kernel upgrade and that was fixed by using Petr's
    any-any update from platan.vc.cvut.cz via ftp in /pub/vmware. I don't
    think anybody needs to go to the beta version of vmware or downgrade
    his/her kernel. As far as running vmware on the newer kernel, there will
    always be this annoying message. You just have to ignore it and move on
    with starting vmware.

    Alex.
