[Solved] VMWare Workstation 10 stopped working after upgrading to Centos 6.6

After upgrading to Centos 6.6 My Vmware-workstation stopped working & showing below error while running any virtual machine

Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.
Please make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.

On terminal vmware status showing below errors & modules not loaded

[root@bhagwat vmware-root]# /etc/init.d/vmware start
Starting VMware services:
   Virtual machine monitor                                 [FAILED]
   Virtual machine communication interface                 [  OK  ]
   VM communication interface socket family                [  OK  ]

   VMware Authentication Daemon                            [  OK  ]

[root@bhagwat vmware-root]# /etc/init.d/vmware status
Module vmmon not loaded
Module vmnet not loaded

Solution 
Solution is very simple just run below commands

rm /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc/vmmon.ko

vmware-modconfig --console --build-mod vmmon /usr/bin/gcc /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/

sudo depmod -a

/etc/init.d/vmware start

& Done..... Your issue is resolved.
