Now that kernel 5.8.0 has been released, it will likely become the default kernel for Tumbleweed, which means that VirtualBox users will be unable to host VM's on Tumbleweed. As Oracle has not proposed a solution, I am hoping to provide a kernel that exports the two symbols necessary to use VB with kernel 5.8 so that Tumbleweed users do not have to switch to KVM.
For others: there was also bug about this: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172897
I branched the kernel-default package under kernel:stable, modified the kernel source with a patch, and have built that modified kernel. I have installed the kernel-default and kernel-default-devel packages from that build and rebooted.
My problem is that I also need to generate a corresponding kernel-devel package to get the kernel headers so that external modules can be built. I do not see the means of getting this package.
You did it wrong. You should have branched kernel-source and then linkpac kernel-default from that. By "osc linkpac <your-prj> kernel-source <your-prj> kernel-default". That will give you both kernel-source (producing kernel-devel (and kernel-macros)) and kernel-default (producing kernel-default + kernel-default-devel). regards, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
