    Problem updating VMware Kernel Module after upgrade

    Hi,

    Thank you for your great effort upgrading to Percise Pangolin.

    I upgraded sucessfully but i have a problem running VMware Player after the upgrade. I get a message thats says:

    Before you can run VMware, several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel.

    So I click install and it takes sometime while failing to install the virtual network devies module then gives an error message at the end saying:

    Unable to start services.

    See log file /tmp/vmware-root/modconfig-5201.log for details

    Any ideas?

    The source code for the modules requires some patches so that they'll compile with the 3.2 kernel.
