Linux Additions 2.0 Install Problems

Hi,

I have the threads w.r.t to issues with the Linux Additions 2.0. Has
anyone figured out how to get the vmadd-scsi.ko module to install? I
am using CentOS 5. I am booting from the virtual SCSI disk. I did read
where some mentioned changing initrd, I did do that and it doesn't
work. All of the other RPMs install and run just dandy.

Thanks,

-Allen

They do complie, but they won't install;

Just forget about vmadd-scsi: use only IDE HDDs for your RHEL/CentOS
guests.

Virtual SCSI drives are quicker than the IDE ones on Windows guests ==

Virtual SCSI drives are quicker than the IDE ones on Linux guests ==
