The NVIDIA errors would appear to be the same for both the ‘released’ and ‘beta’ drivers..<\/p>\n

VMware – partial – fix:
\nThere is a patch for vmnet (only) with 3.10-rc1 in this thread:http:\/\/communities.vmware.com\/thread\/446113<\/a>
\n– and it works, for vmnet, but with 3.10-rc2 vmblock also fails to compile..<\/p>\n

More investigation to follow!<\/p>\n
