Bug Description

Binary package hint: vmware-server-kernel-modules

Since updating to Gutsy-Kernel 2.6.22-15, the vmware-server won't start.
It look like the vmware-server-kernel-modules aren't available for Kernel 2.6.22-15.
When I use Kernel 2.6.22-14, vmware runs without any problems.
I'm using the vmware-server Package from the "http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ gutsy partner" repository.
Here is the error-message from /var/log/vmware/vmware-serverd.log:

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue. Thanks.

Hi fischbach-forum,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Please then run following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 242306

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
