SuSE 9.1 Upgrade breaks VMware 4.5.2

Running the Online Update in YaST results in a SuSE 9.1 upgrade to the 2.6.5-7.108 kernel. The vmware-config.pl command then complains and fails to execute properly. Tried patching vmware using the vmware-any-any-update83 and running the vmware-config.pl script again, but no luck. Any suggestions?

This also works for Suse 9.3 / Kernel 2.6.11.4-20a
This also works with GSX Server 3.2.x on Suse 10.0.

Summary:
Install correct Linux Kernel Source.

As root:

cd /usr/src/linux
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl
