OK, seems for F12 this is not possible because: > vmmemctl: Linux driver removed (it's now upstream) > The pvscsi driver was removed from the open-vm-tools distribution > (it is upstream as of Linux 2.6.33). But my F13-Test-VM with updates-testing has 2.6.34.3-37.fc13.x86_64 and "open-vm-tools-0.0.0.243334-1.fc13.x86_64" which is very bad because lsmod shows * vmmemctl 7913 0 * vmware_balloon 6621 0 and "vmware_balloon" is afaik the vmmemctl-replacement from upstream-kernel There should be some review, not sure if 2.6.34 is pushed to stable in the meantime for F13 Now Fedora has pushed 2.6.34.6-54.fc13 to stable repos and i'm waitung for any open-vm-tools for the last kernel to upgrade our main servers :-) Is there anything that blocks open-vm-tools-2010.08.24 for fedora? It seems not to making troubles but "vmmemctl" should not be included in the kmod-package for 2.6.34 since "vmware_balloon" is loaded and included in the upstream-kernel als replacement [root@buildserver:~]$ uname -rv 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 27 08:56:01 UTC 2010 [root@buildserver:~]$ lsmod Module Size Used by vmblock 11600 1 vmmemctl 7897 0 vsock 40781 0 vmsync 3640 0 nf_conntrack_ftp 11389 0 xt_limit 2076 1 xt_iprange 2167 4 xt_multiport 2514 12 iptable_nat 4890 0 nf_nat 19999 1 iptable_nat ext2 59827 1 vmware_balloon 6621 0 vmxnet3 28117 0 vmci 33764 1 vsock vmw_pvscsi 15411 7 ______________________ Installieren: kernel x86_64 2.6.34.6-54.fc13 updates 22 M kernel-devel x86_64 2.6.34.6-54.fc13 updates 6.4 M Aktualisieren: kernel-headers x86_64 2.6.34.6-54.fc13 updates 719 k Entfernen: kernel x86_64 2.6.32.21-166.fc12 @updates/12 104 M kernel-devel x86_64 2.6.32.21-166.fc12 @updates/12 22 M Entfernt für Abhängigkeiten: kmod-open-vm-tools-2.6.32.21-166.fc12.x86_64 x86_64 0.0.0.243334-1.fc12.11 @rpmfusion-free-updates/12 300 k Vorgangsübersicht ================================================================================================================================================================================= Install 2 Package(s) Upgrade 1 Package(s) Remove 3 Package(s) Gesamte Downloadgrösse: 29 M Ist dies in Ordnung?
