I installed VMWare Workstation 4.5 yesterday on my x86_64 system (with a
64-bit kernel) using this patch:

http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update63.tar.gz

It then compiles and install, the modules "load perfectly". It runs, but
when starting any VM I get a warning that the host kernel is newer than
anything tested by VMWare, and it may not work. Needless to say it hangs
hard if you tell it to start anyway. But it is nice to know that they
are working on the problem.
