I am not sure what is not quite right with your setup. Be sure that the
symlinks are not broken in /lib/modules/2.6.33.x and work as expected. I
have a fairly generic install of Slackware 13.0, which I have updated to
the latest kernel, 2.6.33.2. I used a configuration very similar to that
provided by the generic Slackware -current kernel. Here is a file with
some specifics about my setup, which I have verified works for me:

Perhaps, you could make some comparisons between the set of installed
packages, etc.

Try as root:

vmware-modconfig --console --install-all
