I'm running 2.6.25-r8.  I probably have updated since the last time I

Can you post the output of the following commands:

emerge -pv vmware-modules

modprobe vmmon

We might be able to get to the cause of the problem. I'm having absolutely no problems on a 2.6.24.7 kernel and vmware-modules-1.0.0.15-r1
