Nope.
I tested kvm-79 on a SLES 10 with 2.6.16,
in the hope that my previously reported bug:

"hrtimer_start: Unknown symbol in module"

was fixed. (It wasnt)

Now I have this "one-liner patch(tm)" here which works for me:


diff -u external-module-compat-comm.h.org external-module-compat-comm.h

 static inline void hrtimer_start_expires(struct hrtimer *timer, int mode)
 {
-       hrtimer_start(timer, timer->expires, mode);
+       hrtimer_start_p(timer, timer->expires, mode);
 }



Is this a correct fix?

- I could boot suse 11.1 beta4 with it(which didnt work with kvm-77)

Im really not sure if this works corretly and I dont want have broken
modules in my kernel :(

Is hrtimer_start_p already initialized when  hrtimer_start_expires is
called? (help)
