I found a patch can solve this problem for Vmware 8.0.2 but didn't work for Vmware 8.0.

If you want to go 8.0.2, I wrote a small tutorial to install VMWARE 8.0.2.

Follow this steps:

Download:

https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/downloads

Change permissions:

chmod +x VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2-591240.x86_64

Run:

./VMware-Workstation-Full-8.0.2-591240.x86_64

Then run:

apt-get install patch

After install patch, you must download the VMware correction to your kernel:

http://weltall.heliohost.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz

Unpack the GZ file:

tar -zxvf vmware802fixlinux320.tar.gz

Run the Kernel modules patch:

./patch-modules_3.2.0.sh

Finally, execute VMWARE.
