FC4 Latest Kernel is not one of the Kernels that vmware has a proper config 
for.
There is a guy (search the vmware forums for the details) who builds a patch 
that makes workstation and server run on *anything*.

Download and untar the following. Then run vmware-config.pl
http://platan.vc.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update105.tar.gz

If you have trouble, search the vmware forums for fc4 and there are several 
good sets of howtos on there.

Cheers,
