hi currently there seems to be no way to get open-vm-tools compiled with recent 2.6.41-kernels of Fedora 15 and rpmfusion seems to have totally dropped there packages
F14 support is ending this month
so in december users are forced updating to F15 which is a disaster
without vmware-tools on recent ESXi-Envirnoemnts with active HA
is there any plan to get this solved?
________________
CAUTION:
2.6.40 / 2.6.41 are the 3.0/3.1 kernels for fedora
i patched the VMware-Workstation 8.0.1 module sources and after that the
modules where compiled, the same snippet is in theopen-vm-tools source-package,
not sure if this is the only issue here, i will try to get the last version
through rpmbuild, but totally unsure how to handle the kernel-modules
