make sure the vmnet and vmmon modules are not loaded when you run vmware-config.pl
Code:
# lsmod | grep ^vm


if there are any loading, remove them first:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/vmware stop
# rmmod vmnet
# rmmod vmmon
# lsmod | grep ^vm


only then, run vmware-config.pl

I just did vmware-config.pl with neither modules oaded nd every vmware service stopped (I just booted) and still I keep getting failures:

Code:

*   Virtual machine monitor                                              [ !! ]
 *   Virtual ethernet                                                     [ !! ]

I found the problem, when I added module automounting in the kernel it all of the sudden loaded perfectly :)
consider this solved
