Hi all, Thank you for the interesting replies. The reason I see it as critical is that Virtualbox is still a very popular way to do virtualization and e.g. vagrant builds by default Virtualbox VMs. I have experience with KVM as well, but since I rely heavily on vagrant for some of my work and the libvirt plugin is not installed by default, i stuck to Virtualbox. I will try the libvirt plugin I think :) I am not familiar with OpenQA but can have a look. Is there no easier way for this issue? It should not really involve testing as it is more a dependency issue: TW should not push a kernel update as long as KMP packages are not ready. As mentioned by Gertjan, there are other KMP modules missing too, which can have a more severe impact on a user's system. It is all very interesting and I will certainly have a look, but on some occasions I also just want to be a user, there is already so much work to do, as is the case for all of us of course :) Kind regards, Erwin On Sat, Oct 10, 2015 at 4:24 PM, Knurpht - Gertjan Lettink <knurpht@opensuse.org> wrote:

Erwin,
Richard,
it's not just Virtualbox. Found out on thursday that the same goes for bbswitch ( and probably other kmp's ). The latest TW released snapshot has kernel 4.2.1, bbswitch-kmp-$KERNEL_FLAVOR is built against 4.1.6 A post re. Virtualbox by Dimstar hinted me to give osc a go, and I managed to get the kmp built on my laptop, but that's not the way every new TW user ( or one that wants a clean install ) should have to use IMHO.
Shouldn't there be a mechanism that at least waits for the kmp's to be of the same version as the included kernel before a snapshot is released. Admit I'm not deep enough into the technical aspects of this re. openQA. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht
