I have reinstalled vmware server (free version) and encountered incompatibility problems with my kernel (2.6.22-1-k7). It seems there are a lot of similar issues with other distros and similar kernels.
There are a number of standard hoops to jump through for Debian, but the following was the silver bullet for me with this new issue.
Needed is the any-any-113 patch from http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz
- untar the files
tar zxf vmware-any-any-update113.tar.gz - change to the vmware-any-any-update113 directory
cd vmware-any-any-update113 - execute the runme.pl package
./runme.pl
The result will be a valid vmware-server package. By the way, when it asks for the location of your kernel's include files, use: /lib/modules/2.6.22-1-mepis-smp/build/include
