http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605085 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=605085#c0 Summary: Drop vmware-guest-kmp packages and use them from the upstream kernel Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com ReportedBy: aj@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: mkurc@novell.com, jeffm@novell.com, dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com, mseben@novell.com, jsavanyo@vmware.com, dtor@vmware.com, pmarchand@novell.com Depends on: 591085 Found By: Product Management Blocker: --- As John said in bug #591085: "You should also be aware that we are in the process of upstreaming our kernel drivers and expect them to be included in the base kernel. This will eliminate the need for users to hassle with building and installing drivers. The vmxnet3 virtual NIC was in 2.6.32, the vmw_pvscsi virtual HBA was in 2.6.33 and the balloon driver (vmmemctl) has been accepted recently into 2.6.34. The vmxnet3 and vmw_pvscsi should already be in 11.3 and hopefully vmmemctl will be in milestone7." Currently, the vmware-guest-kmp package contains: /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/pvscsi.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmblock.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmci.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmhgfs.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmmemctl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmsync.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vmxnet.ko /lib/modules/2.6.34-rc5-6-default/updates/vsock.ko Let's check what's in our kernel. Jeff, is everything enabled there? Which ones should be removed from the guest-kmp package? -- 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.
