For VMWare logs, try checking the /var/log, event viewer or what have
you inside the VM you ran for startup messages/timestamps.
And the thing with letting a distro update your kernel for you is that
it typically won't keep track of any 3rd party modules you added
yourself.
When this happened to me for a video card before, and for VirtualBox
recently, I forwent the hassle of trying to figure out how to get the
program to rebuild the modules for the new kernel and just re-ran the
installers.
