hi,

vmware upstream is not particularly good about keeping their kernel
modules up to date with kernel upstream.  people using the latest
kernels generally use the vmware any-any kernel modules instead (which
vmware-package will package), but in the case of 2.6.24 unfortunately
the 'official' vmware any-any hasn't been kept up to date.

please build vmware workstation without -k and see #462620 for the
solution on building vmware modules for 2.6.24.
