I don't think automatix updates things for the new kernels. I used it under Edgy and it broke under Feisty, if I remember correctly it didn't install everything needed to update for new kernels and you might as well wait until the gutsy "partner" repository gets a gutsy version of vmware-server as use automatix.
I suggest you install 1.04 as downloaded from vmware. Once build-essential and xinetd is installed it just works. Kerry.
