The above is the correct syntax.   We are using similiar g.d.s. kernels for vmware GSX here.
However, you probably want to switch to the ck kernel tree as it has patches to fix oom-killer
and other vmware sensitive bugs.  Otherwise, your you may find virtual machines being killed 
off for no reason during high util.

I don't know why the modules weren't building for you.

Did you apply the any-any patch?  We are using version 84 w/o problem and it updates
the vmware module sources to work better w/ 2.6.x kernels.

It can be found at:
