Just to chime in on this, I was having similar issues with the OVA file. I ended up giving up, months later (fast forward to today). I found the "importing" to not work very well if you use the VMware Workstation / ESX import features. I have both Workstation and ESX - I did a drag and drop of the ova file into VMware Workstation and it imported without any issues. (automagically selected the needed files). I then plan to import the VM into ESX via the Workstation integration. Feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Thank You

Normally I just install VMware tools and call it a day, but when I go to do that, the prebuilt modules fail and need to be compiled. But GCC and make, and kernel sources are all not installed and I have no network connection to use in order to install them.
