Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: misc Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Wont Fix Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Charles (libertytrek) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Feature Request - allow building directly into kernel Initial Comment: Hello, I don't run my servers with modules enabled, so I cannot install any flavor of vmware tools, because they both require modules enabled in the server kernel. Why? Is it not possible to provide ability to install/run open-vm-tools without enabling modules in the kernel? Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dmitry Torokhov (dtor) Date: 2013-04-29 10:49 Message: To have modules built into the kernel the kernel sources need to be patched. Open-vm-tools project will not be providing kernel patches, however newer kernels already have most of the VMware drivers available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=989708&aid=3612136&group_id=204462 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
