I had the same problem on FC6.  Check out
http://fcp.surfsite.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=35020&forum=10&post_id=156401

and then run the script in
http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/vmware-any-any-update108.tar.gz and download and
install the new version of VMWare server, 1.0.2.  That worked for me.
