CentOS でカーネルをバージョンアップしたときに VMWare Server の再設定をするには
VMWare Server ではカーネルのバージョンを上げると再コンパイルが必要になる。
まずカーネルの確認。
$ uname -r 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
ノーマルもしくは xen の devel パッケージをインストール。
# yum install kernel-devel.i386 もしくは # yum install kernel-xen-devel.i386
vmware-config.pl を実行する。

と動かそうと思ったら、
Feb 29 11:46:36: app| Error during launch: 11, The "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx" proc ess did not start properly Feb 29 11:46:36: app| Try running "/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx /var/lib/vmware/Virtu al Machines/CentOs5/centos5.vmx" from the command-line on the server. Feb 29 11:46:36: app| VmsdVmStatePendingCmdFailed: cmd status is already set
となってしまった。やはり kernel-xen で動かそうとしているのが間違っていたみたい。
/etc/sysconfig/kernel で DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel に修正し、/boot/grub/menu.lst を修正して xen ではない項目を default にセットし、reboot。
再度 vmware-config.pl を叩いて、/lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.13.el5/build/include でコンパイルしたら動きました。
（3/3 加筆しました）
