can we have a late 5.4 kernel for TW before going to 5.5, *please*.
Hi,
no, why would we? Unless there is a serious bug or problem, of course...
The virtualbox woes with 5.5 will keep that move more painful than ever.
You have to complain to virtualbox authors. It's apparently their fault not to upstream the modules in the past decade. It cannot stop new kernels to roll in openSUSE.
The other option is to politely ask our vbox maintainer to keep vbox up with 5.5. What's the problem, actually?
As the maintainer of Vagrant, that was designed to primarily use VirtualBox (not on openSUSE though), I'd like to know too.
While at it, is KVM fully tested with 5.5 on both sides?
Provided openQA runs on KVM -- and trust me, the kernel is massaged there -- I believe the answer is: as much as possible.
Well, we have openQA tests for Vagrant that will probably break in case there are issues with Virtualbox, so we should be covered here to catch breakage.
