Can you elaborate on the parts that are not working ? Are they building against the wrong headers ? The wrong kernel source ? Something else ? Also, can you supply your test configuration and setup for showing the issues. Since you are already setup to see the issues, it saves everyone time if you provide the details in the bug. Today the out of tree modules build fine, but it is only built against the kernel PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel kernel (where KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME is set to "kernel"). I am not aware of a method to build the same out of tree kernel module against the other kernels that have KERNEL_PACKAGE_NAME set to something besides "kernel". Bruce, It appears you question has been answered. I have moved this out of NEEDINFO back to accepted. bumping to next release. Bulk move of medium importance bugs from 5.1 to 5.2 on behalf of Bruce. Moving off old milestone per bug cleanup (to 6.2 M2). |
