VMware Tools is a bit behind:
- VMware Tools: 2.6.24-19
- current Ubuntu Kernel: 2.6.24-23

At the moment: installing open-vm-tools will only install modules for the 2.6.24-19 kernel and this is not the active kernel used for booting on an up-2-date Ubuntu system. If you don't want to do some customization afterwards, this is not the way to go until VMware releases new versions in their repository.

Anyway this issue will be resolved when upgrading your ESX server or using a more recent VMware Tools installation. Newer VMware Tools Sources will be delivered with your new version of ESX.
