I've been using the pre-built kernels since I got this AMD64 box without
any hardware detection issues. If your soundcard disappears every couple of
reboots I would be more suspicious of the hardware than the kernel.
As for VMWare, the Ubuntu wiki listed the prereqs that I needed and after
they're installed you can install VMWare just like normal.
