In my post I said that I was running an Epia M10000. This is an
unsupported CPU for VMware so I am stuck with 3.2.1. This is not really
an issue - I use vmaware-any-any and VMware runs just fine. 

Redhat has always had a thing with kernels, I don't know why. When I
need to I will go back to running a kernel built from kernel.org source.
Having a kernel source tree on hand is, well, handy...
