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.
