Installed it on the test system, and (4.9-patched) VMware 12.5.2 is OK, but the latest NVIDIA driver (375.26) fails to compile:<\/p>\n

It may be that more Kernel code changes were incorporated after the patch was created, and before 4.10-rc1 was released?<\/p>\n
I have just encountered a potentially more serious problem with compiling this kernel on ARM64 (aarch64) systems, but need more tests to confirm this, and will post results in a later article..<\/p>\n
