Description Tony Thomas 2006-12-09 19:23:13 UTC 
The default 2.6.18 kernel shipping with OpenSuSE 10.2 GM has USBFS support removed. I'm not sure what type of problems this causes for regular users, but VMware users (Both workstation and server) will lose support for USB devices in guests.

Users forced to compile a custom kernel with USBFS for USB support in VMWare guests.
