Description ra oeai 2013-03-14 21:54:56 CET

i didn't found such thing
but while i was thinking about it, i decided that voluntary preempt can cause some faults, so maybe the better thing is to have virtualbox for server-kernel only, because it will be more like a stable
just not sure on how the virtualbox or qemu\xen will be with new memory-workarounds in kernel, can this be analysed just a little more?

Reproducible:

no, we will not remove modules for other kernel than server, it works fine with them (or I have again not understand your bug)

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Component: New RPM package request => RPM Packages
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

Comment 2 ra oeai 2013-03-15 01:28:41 CET

well it's ok if it is working, then the linus-kernel can be probably also be supplied by virtualbox-modules
right-now i don't know why, but i cannot install virtualbox on
kernel-linus-3.8.1-1.mga3 - Linux Kernel for desktop use with x86_64â

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2013-03-15 01:45:34 CET

you can use the dkms for that

Comment 4 ra oeai 2013-03-15 02:09:18 CET

i just wanted to click virtualbox install and it would be set with dkms or without, now it wants me to setup a new desktop or server kernel.
