Public bug reported: Hi,
I see that VMI (paravirt support for VMware) is still enabled in the Ubuntu 10.04 alpha3 32bit kernels. VMware has started retiring VMI from its products and I have also marked it for removal from the mainline kernel. I did mark the CONFIG_VMI option as deprecated, but the patch seems to have missed the 2.6.32 release. Anyways given that it is marked as deprecated with 2.6.33, can you guys please consider disabling it from the next release for 10.04 ? Commit details from mainline. commit d0153ca35d344d9b640dc305031b0703ba3f30f0 Author: Alok Kataria <[email protected]> Date: Tue Sep 29 10:25:24 2009 -0700 x86, vmi: Mark VMI deprecated and schedule it for removal Add text in feature-removal.txt indicating that VMI will be removed in the 2.6.37 timeframe. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Disable VMI from Ubuntu 10.04 32bit kernels. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/537601 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
