Yes, it has been deprecated.
What's the status/plan for VMI kernel at suse?
Please see the "VMI" section at http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP1/#known_virt... That depicts the situation for the enterprise distribution (SLE). I don't see why opensuse should be different in this respect. -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs, Novell Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

You mean this?
VMI Kernel (x86, 32-bit only)
Since VMWare and Novell and the community did improve the infrastructure in the kernel in a way that VMI is not necessary any more, starting with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 the seperate VMI kernel flavor is now obsolete and therefore was dropped from the media. Upon upgrade it would be automatically replaced by the PAE kernel flavour, which assures customers can take advantage of all the features which were included in the separate VMI kernel flavour.
Use PAE. OK.
That depicts the situation for the enterprise distribution (SLE). I don't see why opensuse should be different in this respect.
But I wonder why a VMI kernel still exists in factory/11.4? -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

If it's not squashed, you will have people trying to use it. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

He was asking for the number of the bug report you surely have entered meanwhile. Ciao, Michael. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

That is really an oversight. I dropped it from the master branch now. I'll keep it as is in 11.4 to not cause more harm than good. Michal -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
