I just wanted to give people a tip in case they had the problem I did. If they have patched for previous kernels, or are just having problems with the patch, uninstalling and reinstalling vmware can clean up the original source directory thus allowing the patch to apply.

Your patch works good with VMware-Workstation-6.5.2-156735 on debian squeeze(2.6.30-1-686 kernel). The install script brought some error,so I patched manually.

I may update it to work with the latest at some point; no promises though. If I do, I will drop you an email to let you know, and post it on the blog as well.

My patches and the previous patches for 2.6.29 are only likely to work with VMware-Workstation-6.5.1-126130.x86_64. Make sure you are using that exact version. Newer versions may have changed their source code a bit here and there, so aren’t likely to work. I noticed some of them worked on yours, but not all of them; that is a good indicator that what I am saying is likely the case. So, go see if you can download an archived version (matching the one I mention above) of vmware. I believe they have them on their site.

But, it appears that wordpress changes the names of the files. So, either make sure the names match what is specified inside the shell script, or modify the shell script to use the files you saved.
