Hey, Eric and Steve, I think this link is a FAQ candidate.

You need a patch for the kernel modules. But it works. VMWare 3.0 works out
of the box on everything I tried it on up to 2.4.10.

I'm now happily running VMWare 2.0.4 under Linux 2.4.7. So, to make this
work first download the patch:
ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
Then copy it to the '/usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source' directory.
Next,
run:
cd /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source
gunzip vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar.gz
After that, make a backup of the existing
'vmmon.tar' file and copy the
new
one into its place:
cp vmmon.tar vmmon.tar.backup
mv vmmon-for-2.4.7-only.tar vmmon.tar
Finally, run:
vmware-config.pl
