As an aside, my notebook is running rawhide, but I boot the most recent 
F8 updates kernel.i686 when I need vmware-server to work. The 
vmwareconfig.pl warning about gcc version {yes} is OK for the F8 
kernel/vmware to work with. The yum plugin for lock version, and 
settings to exclude kernel updates would be helpful here.

I imagine now that kernel.org has released 2.6.25, that patches for 
vmware will be forthcoming...
