I think because it is really older than 3.2... usually upstream ifdefs if something is still worth the old code.
I see usually they seem to support also 2.6 (I saw many 2.6.x defines in the code IIRC), so I presume that workaround it was wrong or too old to be useful now. said this, I blindly follow upstream's ifdefs when a new kernel is released, so if you want to diverge from upstream it is up to you ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1408939 Title: virtualbox-guest-dkms 4.1.12-dfsg-2ubuntu0.7: virtualbox-guest kernel module failed to build To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1408939/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
