Hi Pasi, we had some discussion with Jan in the background: On 01/04/2011 03:14 PM, Jan Beulich wrote: >>>> On 04.01.11 at 14:34, Samuel Kvasnica <bugreports@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> Did you *try* whether it applies to the 2.6.18 tree?

Pasi: do you see a possibility to try it out on 2.6.18 ? I'm not sure if anybody from Fujitsu takes actively care, it is quite old code. >> Well, ok, so now whats the procedure to get this by default at least to >> opensuse kernel ? > If it is reasonably applicable to the 2.6.18 kernel, we prefer getting > it through that tree.

Jan: but if I understood Pasi, he claims there are no pvscsi drivers included in the pv-ops tree at all because it was not ported so far. But your opensuse pv-ops kernel definitely includes pvscsi drivers - does this part exist only in suse kernel tree ?
