Cannot install "VMware-workstation-5.5.1-19175.i386.rpm" on the opensuse
10.1 beta1 (had not issues installing it on 10.1 relase 4).  I have the
following kernel syms/source installed:

linux:~/vmware # uname -r
2.6.15-git12-6-default
linux:~/vmware # rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-update-tool-0.9-18
kernel-default-2.6.15_git12-6
kernel-source-2.6.15_git12-6
kernel-syms-2.6.15_git12-6
