 I took David Bottrill's advice and got the latest any-any patch from the
 VMware Patch Maintainer site at http://ftp.cvut.cz/vmware/. The -50
 version I had did not work, but a -51 version was released a few days
 ago, and that did work.

 There are no instructions with the any-any update patch, but basically
 all I did was (not sure if all steps are truly necessary, but...):

 1. Install the new kernel and kernel sources.
 2. Using YaST, disable vmware services
 3. Reboot.
 4. As root, run:
 4a. cd /usr/src/linux
 4b. make cloneconfig
 4c. make dep && make clean
 5. Unpack the vmware-any-any-update51.tar.gz patch
 6. Run as root the runme.pl script from the any-any patch.
 6a. Allow the runme.pl script to overwrite the modules.
 6b. Ignore any errors.
 6c. Allow the runme.pl script to launch vmware-config.pl.
 7. Allow vmware-config.pl to build the modules.
 8. Re-enable vmware services in YaST
 9. Launch VMware.
