I found the following reference relating a similar problem with 2.6.1-mm5: http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=1976&messageID=8243 Re-inserting #define __NR__exit __NR_exit and static inline _syscall1(void,_exit,int,exitcode) in ...include/asm-i386/unistd.h fixed the problem for me. I do _not_ know if this is an acceptable solution, as there may be other implications for the removal of this code in 2.6.3-rc1... Robert Gadsdon.
