Well.. I tried installing VMWare and I get the follwoing error message:

Compiling  linux/driver.c
In file included from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/highmem.h:5,
                 from /usr/src/linux/include/linux/pagemap.h:16,

does anyone know where the PAGE_* stuff is defined so I can hack the
driver code?  I rooted around the /usr/src/linux/linux/asm directory,
but was never able to get it to compile the drivers.  Any suggersions?

As a note, I am trying to reinstall the latest version of 2.0.4, and
before someone suggest upgrading to 3.0 all I'll say at this time is
that I am unwilling to throw more good money after bad.
