VMWare 4.5.2 broken?

[James C. Bevier]

I saw the same error a few OS revisions ago.  I copied the following
device definitions to the /etc/udev/devices directory and the errors
went away.  I am currently at 610 and all is well in 32 & 64 bit
versions.

Copy from /dev directory to /etc/udev/devices directory:
vmmon
vmnet0
vmnet1
vmnet8
parport0
parport1
parport2
parport3
