I have just upgraded by PC from gutsy to hardy.
I run VMware workstation, and am getting errors when building the
VMwware modules for the kernel on hardy (2.6.24-16-generic). The errors
are
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-16-generic'
CC [M] /tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/linux/driver.o
In file included
from /tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/./include/vmware.h:25,
from /tmp/vmware-config1/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:83:

include/linux/poll.h:65: error: previous declaration of ‘poll_initwait’

Are these errors ubuntu-specific or are they due to changes between
2.6.22 and 2.6.24 kernels?
Any suggestions on how to get the modules to build?
