modules for VMware 2.0.4 for Linux do not compile for 2.4.7

Hello,

First of all I'm not subscribed to this list, so I would appreciate it if
I would be cc-ed in a reply.

My question is about VMware. While the modules compiled in 2.4.6, they do
not anymore in 2.4.7. Is this because of structural changes in the kernel
source (in which case I would have to wait for a new version of VMware) or
is something just wrong?

Anyway, here is the compiler error:
