Description of problem: I don't know if this is the change in the upstream kernel or ommision in RHEL5. Probably the former (in which case this isn't really a bug). The 2.6.9 kernels in RHEL4 have UTS_RELEASE defined. While running vmware-config-tools.pl script (from ESX 3.0 packages), and attempting to build vmware's modules, the script failed because UTS_RELEASE define was missing from version.h kernel header file. After readding it, the script ran fine and built the modules. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-devel-2.6.17-1.2519.4.21.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to run vmware-config-tools.pl Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
UTS_RELEASE has moved to linux/utsrelease.h
The issue might be worked around by adding the following line to the beginning of the header file /usr/src/kernels/<version-rel-arch>/include/linux/version.h: #include <linux/utsrelease.h>
Further to comment #2: can be used with Fedora Core 5: kernel-2.6.18-1.2200.fc5, kernel-2.6.18-1.2239.fc5
