Kernel – 6.0 Pre-tests – VMware OK, NVIDIA Fails.
Kernel 6.0-rc1 is due soon, and I tested with the latest (August 11) GIT version.. Of course, more changes will be incorporated before -rc1 is out, but this gives some idea how things may go…
With the latest patchset, VMware 16.2.4 is OK.. (https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules/tree/workstation-16.2.4)
NVIDIA 515.65.01 compile fails:
