SUSE 9.1 - VMware 4.5.2

Due to issues after an upgrade to the SuSE kernel from YAST, VMware will no
longer load. I uninstalled VMware and loaded 4.5.2 and same issue. See
below.

I think the kernel sources are not there. How can I get the kernel sources
loaded and where do I put them?

Thanks,

Michael
