Is there a difference in the way kernel modules are managed between 
CentOS4 and 5?  I thought that under CentOS4 after a kernel update 
VMware would insist that you run vmware-config.pl but it would always 
say that the existing module loads perfectly, where under CentOS5 it 
always compiles a new version for each updated kernel.
