[SLE] Updated Athlon kernel and vmware 4.05
Where would I find instructions to "reinstall the current running kernel"
as mentioned below?

I am running SuSE 9.0 Professional. I recently applied the updated Athlon kernel and source via YOU. Currently running 2.4.21-166-athlon.
Naturally when I started up vmware it told me to run vmware-config.pl.
Previously when I ran vmware-config.pl it would compile new modules, BUT ASK ME IF I WANTED TO OVERWRITE THE EXISTING ONES. Either I was asleep or it overwrote them without asking. In any event, vmmon.o and vmnet.o got overwritten. I SWEAR I HAD BACKUPS, but of course i can't find them.
Simply reinstall the current running kernel and you will have the modules back. I have done this a couple of times. I have also found that if you delete the not_configured file in /etc/vmware you may get away without having to run the config program. Ken

This assumes that you allowed YOU to keep the patches it downloaded (there's a tick-box to disable it) rpm -Uvh --force the kernel rpms on the install CDs/DVD Then rerun YOU. If you saved the patches (it puts them in /var/lib/YaST2/you/ mnt/i386/update/9.0/rpm/ ), it will install them straight from your hard disc. Hans
