I run VMware 4.5.1 & 5.0, on a 2.6.10 built from Debian sources. I have 
always built my own with matching headers so everything matches and the 
modules insert without issue, automagically. I never have used 'insmod' 
though, starting VMware always loads the needed modules, if they match 
the kernel.
