This builds modules with my build process: $ ar p vmware-any-any-kernel-modules-2.6.22.2-scyw00225_113.0+2.6.22.2.20070813.0_i386.deb data.tar.gz | tar --list --verbose --gzip --file - drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/2.6.22.2-scyw00225/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/2.6.22.2-scyw00225/misc/ -rwxr-xr-x root/root 19086 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/2.6.22.2-scyw00225/misc/vmblock.ko -rwxr-xr-x root/root 237933 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/2.6.22.2-scyw00225/misc/vmmon.ko -rwxr-xr-x root/root 42989 2007-08-13 12:17 ./lib/modules/2.6.22.2-scyw00225/misc/vmnet.ko drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2007-08-13 12:17 ./usr/share/doc/vmware-any-any-kernel-modules-2.6.22.2-scyw00225/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 184 2007-08-13 11:17 ./usr/share/doc/vmware-any-any-kernel-modules-2.6.22.2-scyw00225/changelog.gz $ The build log does not say which Vmware product the modules were built for. I won't be able to actually try this before tomorrow night since I need my vmware player to work until then. But we're a big step forward now, thanks for helping. I'll report back when I tried. The "section mismatch" warnings were also present when I built the (working!) modules for my existing setup, so I do not think that they are cause for concern.
