I'm a bit of a newbie at this, but can't you have multiple kernals available 
if you place the images in /boot and then configure lilo to boot off one or 
the other by giving them different labels?  Maybe that doesn't give you the 
same functionality as the RPM (I've never used a kernal RPM), but I had 
fairly good luck with it when I was configuring my roommate's computer to 
find his Zip drive.  That might be a way to keep the kernel-linus for normal 
use and boot up into the other kernal when you want to use vmware.  Hope 
this is of some help.  Good luck :-)
