 |

Usually a call trace in the log file is not a good thing. Does anything in here represent some kind of problem that I should concern myself with?
| Code: |
May 14 10:09:37 system Symbol init_mm is marked as UNUSED, however this module is using it.
May 14 10:09:37 system This symbol will go away in the future.
May 14 10:09:37 system Please evalute if this is the right api to use and if it really is, submit a report the linux kernel mailinglist toge
ther with submitting your code for inclusion.

This probably means VMWare modules are linked against old kernel features, which are deemed to disappear soon. I'd say expect vmware-modules to malfunction some day or not being able to modprobe them. Maybe file a bug on VMWare site - I know however its reputation is not about being well supported. But if you don't try...

Might be worth a go enabling "Enable unused/obsolete exported symbols" in Kernel Hacking section of kernel config. Dunno though.
