7 VMWare doesn't need to be re-emerged after a kernel upgrade, but you need
8 to run vmware-config again. Because the kernel modules are not installed
9 by portage, but created by vmware-config, the equery command won't pick
10 them up. It picks up all modules that belong to a package, and thus
11 weren't installed by the kernel configuration and the vmware modules
12 don't belong to a package :(
