vmware-modules do not support kernel 5.8. #63

Closed dallenwilson closed 4 years ago

dallenwilson commented 4 years ago

vmware-modules do not function correctly when built against linux kernel 5.8, as per this upstream issue. On my two machines (one intel, one amd), trying to run a virtual machine causes a hard reboot of the host.

If you have some time, please update the ebuild with a check to see if it's building against >=5.8.

Done. Thanks for the heads-up!
