Perhaps I was not clear in my original email, the point being that you dont need to rebuild drivers when kernels update ( in 99% of the cases )
Is that now true also of the nvidia driver(s)? I haven't seen anything so to indicate.
The nvidia driver, for me, built against 2.6.18-8.el5) has worked fine upto the latest released kernel ( 2.6.18-92.el5 )
try running the vmware-server installed on centos-5, irrespective of what kernel version you use / run - the vmware binary modules used are from an early kernel as well...
