Sorry to add to this issue more than one year after the last comment,
but it looks like the same problem surface again.

It seems like the release process which produces a new vmware-player-
kernel-modules-2.6.15.XX package each time a new linux-
image-2.6.15-XX-686|k7 is released is broken. It worked fine with
Breezy: For every kernel security update, a new vmware kernel module was
also released -- as far as I could see.

My current situation is that
o vmplayer-2.6.15-28 works with linux-image-2.6.15-28 (player version is 
2.6.15.10-11).
o vmplayer-2.6.15-29 fails with linux-image-2.6.15-29 with "Version mismatch 
with vmmon module: expecting 137.0, got 138.0." (player version is 
2.6.15.11-13).
o vmplayer fails "Could not open /dev/vmmon" with linux-image-2.6.15-51 which 
is current at the time of my writing, without surprise, since there's no 
vmware-player-module-2.6.15-51.

So I need to keep my 2.6.15-28 image installed *and* boot that each time
I want to use vmware-player.
