Para nucleos superiores a linux-2.6.22 el modulo para montar los "shared folders" no compila correctamente:

La instalación se lo salta y luego no se pueden ver los directorios compartidos con el host en /mnt/hgfs/

Hay que parchear el fuente de VMwareTools-6.0.3-80004.tar.gz para ello:

tar zxvf VMware\ Tools/VMwareTools-6.0.3-80004.tar.gz
tar xvf ./vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar
wget http://projects.tuxx-home.at/vmware/tools/6.0.3-80004/vmhgfs-6.0.3-80004-2.6.24.3.diff
patch -p0 < vmhgfs-6.0.3-80004-2.6.24.3.diff
tar cvf vmware-tools-distrib/lib/modules/source/vmhgfs.tar vmhgfs-only
cd vmware-tools-distrib/
perl vmware-install.pl
