Actually 2.5.0 is equivalent to 2.4.15 (without the fs corruption patches). Maybe VMWARE has problems dealing with '2.5' kernel version string? I'm just guessing because for all the boxes i run vmware on, i've had no problems just as long as the source for the running kernel is present.
By the way, look at your /usr/src/linux symlink. WHere does it point to? 2.4.14 or 2.5.0? This has an issue because the /usr/include symlinks use ../src/linux ...
