The problem here is that we supply a driver which goes into the Linux kernel (as does every reasonably fast virtualisation sollution currently). The Linux kernel developers made a decision not to support binary drivers. Their intention is that every driver should be shipped with the kernel, which our driver currently can't be (and perhaps never will be) for a number of reasons. The result is that every different "build" of the kernel needs own driver "build"s. We provide binaries for the most common kernels with each distribution, but when a distribution updates its kernel, the ones we supply will no longer work.
