Package: linux-image-2.6.20-1-686 Version: 2.6.20-2 Severity: normal Installing vmplayer version 1.0.3 with a stock Debian kernel fails, because Paravirtualization (CONFIG_PARAVIRT) is enabled by default. I don't know whether this option is needed for other virtualization software, but if not, it would be nice if this option was disabled. Then it wouldn't be needed anymore to recompile the kernel in order to install vmware.
