Hello. I found, that opensuse kernel-xen have two blktap2 modules. One blktap2 and other blktap-new. What is difference and why needed two modules (blktap2-new created by suse/opensuse patches) xen10:~ # modinfo xen-blktap filename: /lib/modules/3.6.9-1-xen/kernel/drivers/xen/blktap2-new/xen-blktap.ko alias: xen-backend:tap2 alias: devname:xen/blktap-2/control license: Dual BSD/GPL srcversion: A4659328DBBF5A422315CA5 depends: intree: Y vermagic: 3.6.9-1-xen SMP mod_unload modversions Xen xen10:~ # modinfo blktap2 filename: /lib/modules/3.6.9-1-xen/kernel/drivers/xen/blktap2/blktap2.ko alias: xen-backend:tap2 alias: devname:xen/blktap-2/control license: Dual BSD/GPL srcversion: 8C21A63E6BCEEFFAD2B0DDA depends: blkback-pagemap intree: Y vermagic: 3.6.9-1-xen SMP mod_unload modversions Xen -- Vasiliy Tolstov, Clodo.ru e-mail: v.tolstov@selfip.ru jabber: vase@selfip.ru

Also, for the future I''d recommend asking openSUSE related questions on openSUSE mailing lists. Jan
