i would "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel\*"
"2.6.42.3-2" made me crazy and forced me to completly remove
VMwareWorkstation, remove pacthes and start again

last week "kernel-2.6.42.6-3.fc15.x86_64" arrived in updates-testing
and oh wonder after reboot the modules was rebuilt automatically
and vmware-service started - the first time that they are here before
calling vmware as root and wait compile
