Severity: important


When trying to build the kernel modules for 2.6.26, the build fails.

  CC [M]  /usr/src/modules/open-vm/modules/linux/vmmemctl/os.o

  BUILD FAILED!

In kernel 2.6.26, 'get_info' is removed. In other words:

In /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-2-common/include/linux/proc_fs.h, it
exists;
in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.26-1-common/include/linux/proc_fs.h, it's
gone.

This is most likely a bug that should be fixed upstream.
