Thanks for your input.
I downloaded the .rpm. I don't think it would need to be fully uninstalled and reinstalled. I'm sure there must be another way to re-build the kernel modules.
Perhaps someone from VMWare can chime in?
Please see this thread: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/172023
Two fixes are listed there: 1) make sure haldaemon is running, and 2) "mv /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old".
In VMware6.5, kernel modules should be rebuilt automatically as needed. If not, you can force a rebuild by running (as root): "vmware-modconfig --console --install-all"
I run SUSE but IIRC, when I ran the bundle, it un-installed the current version of WS, then reinstalled and configured the new version, keeping all of my settings. I don't think vmware-config.pl is run the same way it used to be. I would guess that the RPM does the same thing, but have used the bundle since the BETA.

Ahh, sudo vmware did the trick. It popped up a nice graphical rebuild dialog. As boogerhead user vmware silently dies after informing you it need to be rebuilt.
