Thanks very much for the patch. We're currently testing out vmware-modules-1.0.0.17-r1, which hopefully does all the spin-locking correctly, because it's based upon the vmware-any-any-update sources. You can find the latest version in the vmware overlay (accessible via layman). Please let me know if it fixes up your problems. Thanks... 5:) |
