It appears that GRUB is doing it's job, but the kernel does not have the
appropriate HW drivers for VMware's emulation. If you have another
VMware system that works, boot to that and run both lspci and lsmod to
see what that system is being loaded. Then rebuild your kernel ensuring
the proper drivers are built into the kernel.
