[Bug 776103] Re: package open-vm-dkms 2011.03.28-387002-0ubuntu2 fails to build against 2.6.39 kernels, due to missing linux/smp_lock.h

[Nate Muench]

Don't use the ones in Debian unstable because they're using a kernel
that requires a module (vmmemctl) in the Tools.  The newer kernels (like
the ones in Natty/Oneiric) have said module in the kernel.

Also as of right now, the Stable Tools (and the unstable ones currently
in the repo) don't support the 2.6.39.  Although, I guess Oneiric is
going with the 3.0 Kernel (I just check the packages Launchpad page).
So what I'm suggesting might be irrelevant.

As I said I've tried compiling the May 2011 release modules of open-vm-
tools, and even with the issues with the open-vm-toolbox, I got all the
modules SUCCESSFULLY compiled.
