Did you read the FAQ?
Q: I get an error like this when I configure Open vSwitch:
configure: error: Linux kernel in <dir> is version <x>, but
version newer than <y> is not supported (please refer to the
FAQ for advice)
What should I do?
A: You have the following options:
- Use the Linux kernel module supplied with the kernel that you are using.
(See also the following FAQ.)
- If there is a newer released version of Open vSwitch, consider building
that one, because it may support the kernel that you are building
against. (To find out, consult the table in the previous FAQ.)
- The Open vSwitch "master" branch may support the kernel that you are
using, so consider building the kernel module from "master".
All versions of Open vSwitch userspace are compatible with all versions of
the Open vSwitch kernel module, so you do not have to use the kernel module
from one source along with the userspace programs from the same source.
