Vmware will need to update their code to support the kernel version you are using.
You may find a fix by web searching.

I no longer use vmware, but this used to happen often.
These days I use virt manager and avoid these problems.

You need to apply patches for kernel 6.9

You needbto sign the bmmon and vmnet manually after aplying thise from github and folkow instructions. I can find now the bmwarr guide for signing will trybto find it later, but after each kernel uodate yiu need to do allbthe process again and point the signing to new vmmon and vmnet to new kernel so be ready for manually do the work many times and sometimes need to wait days to get it working

This log looks familiar to me. I did encountered issues when compiling with Fedora 40 (non Atomic) as well.

Seems like it has to do with the tag w17.5.1 being an unpatched source. Try to download from branch workstation-17.5.1 instead.
