Till, The amd_iommu.h header was moved from asm/ to linux/ in kernel 3.1. The VirtualBox source has a define for version < 3.1 use asm/, else use linux/. This problem won't be seen by F16 users. It's a small side-effect in F15 as it is still using 2.6.x kernel versioning. As to the update criteria, it would be allowed. VirtualBox is not a Fedora package. AFAIK the only thing stopping VBox from being a Fedora package is its required kernel module and Fedora's policy against out-of-kernel modules. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
