          Patch works perfectly on  Ubuntu 11.10 x64.  with the 3.2.0 kernel.  Uninstall WS.  You may wish to completely  unistall l by using the KB 38 (I've modified it to delete newer  files and directories for WS 8)

           

          Run all these commands a su

          ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

          /etc/init.d/vmware stop
          lsmod | grep vm*
          rmmod vmmon.o
          rmmod vmci.o
          rmmod vmblock.o
          rmmod vmppuser.o

           

          rm /etc/rc2.d/*vmware
          rm /etc/rc3.d/*vmware
          rm /etc/rc5.d/*vmware
          rm /etc/rc6.d/*vmware

           

          rm -rf /etc/vmware*
          rm  /usr/bin/vmware*
          rm /usr/bin/vmnet*
          rm -fr /etc/vmware
          rm -fr /etc/vmware-vix
          rm -fr /etc/vmbuidler/vmware
          rm -fr /usr/lib/vmware-vix
          rm  -fr /var/run/vmware
          rm  -fr /var/log/vmware-installer
          rm  -rf /usr/lib/vmware
          rm -fr /usr/lib/vmware-ovftool

           

          -------------------------------------------------------------------

           

          Many files and directories may not  be found but that's OK

           

          Install the WS 8 bundle

           

          Then  apply the patch for 3.2.0.  You might want to rename the shell script to patch-modules_3.2.0.sh
