Tetsed with OpenVM Tools version 10.1.0_5,1

Since upgrading to 2.5.2.r.20210626.0300 the vmware-kmod service fails to start with the following system logs:

Jun 26 14:08:28 kernel KLD vmmemctl.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch

Shell Output - ps uxawww | grep vmtoolsd:

The vmware-guestd service still runs and basic functionality like shutting down the system from ESXi is still working. Both services were running well on the June 17th build.
