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.
