Comment 10 for bug 263837

I've experienced the same problem trying to get VMWare to work with Ubuntu Intrepid (now using kernel 2.6.27). I'd be very interested in knowing if the patch above works.
For Wilbur Harvey : I've gotten the Virtualbox 2.0.2 ( http://www.virtualbox.org/ )that just came out and corrected some "Intrepid" issues to work just fine - Best of all, it's free! The only issue I'm facing with Virtualbox is that the workarounds to get the USB ports to work in the previous Ubuntu versions don't seem to apply to the upcoming Intrepid version....
