Note to testers, just urpmi a dkms-virtualbox/vboxadditions/xtables-addons/nvidia* to ensure it still builds

(technically already tested on bug 18727 on both arches as it comes with prebuilt kmods)

separate updates will come for nvidia and fglrx drivers to take advantage of this parallel build support

Confirmed working fine on Mageia 5 i586.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-32-OK

Wanting to test M5 x64 with AMD/Radeon video H/W
Apparently the box has 2 CPUs "AMD E1-1200 with Radeon HD Graphics".
I currently have installed:

dkms-2.0.19-34.mga5
dkms-minimal-2.0.19-34.mga5
dkms-fglrx-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree

kernel-desktop-4.4.13-1.mga5-1-1.mga5
kernel-desktop-devel-4.4.13-1.mga5-1-1.mga5
kernel-userspace-headers-4.4.13-1.mga5
kernel-desktop-devel-latest-4.4.13-1.mga5
kernel-desktop-latest-4.4.13-1.mga5
kernel-firmware-20160409-1.mga5

I have no idea whether dkms is involved in all this. Happy to test install this update if that will achieve something useful.

Installing one of the dkms-* packages should build & install OK for the running kernel Lewis. You can check afterwards with "dkms status".

Testing mga5 64 on old Q6600 quad core with dkms-libafs as it's one which previously always took an age to build (~15-20mins)

- NOT OK

It shows a bad exit status cleaning build area, possibly from previous testing although never previously on this kernel. The build fails around 7 minutes in. The log isn't really helpful although we've had issues with this module in the past so may not be due to dkms.

dkms-libafs needs to be updated to support kernel 4.4, there is another bug open for that, I'll fix that up there..

Thanks Thomas. OK & validating.

Tested with dkms-fglrx instead..
