I have been using Feisty now for… 1 hour and I found the first major problem. VMware is not running anymore. Re-Running the configuration file /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl, as suggested, fails and returns an error that it could not compile. So after a search I found that VMware Server is not supporting Kernel version 2.6.20, used by Feisty. But, I found in the same topic the following work-around.

Step 1 (Installing the modules from repository)

Step 2 (Installing VMware Server) $
tar -xzf VMware-server-1.0.2.???????.tar.gz
$ cd vmware-server-distrib/
$ ./vmware-install.pl
Step 3 (Make VMware Server Daemon work with Feisty modules)
$ sudo sed -i -e "s/\/sbin\/insmod -s -f \"\/lib\/modules\/\`uname -r\`\/misc\/\$1.o\"/modprobe -s -f \$1/" /etc/init.d/vmware
Step 4 (Make the configure script ignore the configure of a new module)
$ sudo sed -i -e "s/sub configure_module {/sub configure_module {\n return 'yes';/" /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
Step 5 (Reconfigure)
$ sudo vmware-config.pl
Step 6(Restarting the application)
$ sudo /etc/init.d/vmware restart
Another solution would be to use the vmware-any-any-patch available, here http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/. This unofficial patch, is also suggested by vmware themselves.
