VMWARE 7.14 ON LINUX KERNEL >=2.6.39 安装问题解决
自己编译新的内核后安装完毕vmware 7.1.4后启动编译模块的时候提示如下错误Logging to /tmp/vmware-root/setup-3155.log

解决方法:
Linux Kernel2.6.39正式版已经发布好几天了，翅膀也自己编译了下，在Natty上运行的很好~唯一的问题就是VMware 7.14不能用了，创建模块的时候会提示Unable to build kernel module，由于VMware官方还没有发布新版来解决这个问题，所以我们只能自己动手，从kernel的方面来搞定啦~
下面是补丁的地址，点击这里下载patch
以下是patch的使用方法：
（因为之后的操作需要root权限，所以先切到root用户比较方便）
1
sudo -i
1.进入模块源码所在的文件夹，解压所有tar档案

cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
for file in*
do
tar xvf $file
done
2.应用patch（这里patch_path为patch文件所在的路径）
1
patch -p1 < /patch_path/vmware2.6.39fixed.patch
3.重新打包

for file in*-only
do
tar cvf `basename$file-only`.tar$file
done
rm -rf *-only
4.重新创建并读取模块
1
vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
好了，问题解决了
输入命令vmware
编译模块，成功。
