[Bug 1083719] Re: open-vm-dkms 2011.12.20-562307-0ubuntu1: open-vm-tools kernel module failed to build [error: implicit declaration of function ‘d_alloc_root’]

[Robert C Jennings]

open-vm-dkms is unable to build drivers on Precise currently for both
the stock 3.2 kernel and the newer HWE
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack) kernels.

For those needing an HWE kernel in your Precise installation, the Saucy
or newer HWE kernels are supported by a new open-vm-tools-lts-trusty
package being introduced in bug #1275656.

Older kernels, which are still supported, will still require a fix in
open-vm-dkms as the newer packages mentioned above require a v3.9 or
newer kernel.
