Mr. ekipz,

Your procedure is satisfactory.

Although I think that it is because the version of libata probably changed, I do not understand for details, either.

Although it seems to be good to use the source file of kernel 2.6.24, many symbol problems are unsolvable.

I am sorry that a help is impossible.

Best regards.

ichi,

Do you (or anyone else?) know what Linux kernel headers version is needed to develop drivers for 5.0?

You will see this message when the package is already installed.
Check with
esxcli software vib list

Hi,

the mapping for the device 1969:1048 is missing from ichi's original package.
I modified it to include the mapping. Try the attached file.

Remove the original package with
esxcli software vib remove net-atl1e
then install the attached one.
