Just installed Kernel 3.18-rc6, and the latest NVIDIA drivers – 340.58 and 346.16 – compile and load OK…

Although VMware have just released version 10.0.4, this still needs the ‘vmnet patch’ to compile OK, with kernels 3.17 and 3.18..

# uname -a
Linux rg6830l 3.18.0-rc6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Nov 23 23:41:40 PST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Details of changes, and outstanding ‘issues’, are here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1411.2/05503.html  and here: http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1411.2/05508.html

The US ‘Thanksgiving’ holiday could cause some delays, but if all goes well, then 3.18 Final may be out soon..
