http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=548445 Summary: [Kernel:HEAD/kernel-desktop] drivers modules Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Keywords: build Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: 3rd party software AssignedTo: jblunck@novell.com ReportedBy: webmaster@geomaticien.com QAContact: opensuse-communityscreening@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Overview: Devices drivers updates are impossibles, because drivers are built in the kernel and not as modules. Actual results: All builtin drivers could NOT be updated by just a driver update compiled for this kernel flavor and installed as my-driver-update.ko in /lib/modules/<kernel>/updates. Expected: All the drivers modules should be compiled as modules and NOT builtin. Others distros and other flavors generally compile these drivers as modules, as this is required to be able to compile and use a driver update without recompiling the whole kernel. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
