I think I already did this. ;)

If you need the kernel sources just install them in the chroot
(apt-get install linux-source-2.6.17-grml), even though I'm not sure
whether you really need them (aren't kernel-headers enough?).

But make sure you have the current vmware-any-any-update which is
necessary for recent kernel versions.
