Module "kernel" exists but with wrong version, after upgrade. (But still working)

This is my whole file:

accf_http_load="YES"
accf_data_load="YES"
# Beginning of the block added by the VMware software
vmxnet_load="YES"
# End of the block added by the VMware software

So that's not it.

I'm not using the vmxnet driver, I can probably rip that line out.

I can probably also rip the accf's out, as the apache startup configs will handle them.
