Synopsis: Low: Virtio drivers for kernel 2.4.21-63.EL Issue date: 2010-03-18 This new package provides signed, para-virtualized block and network drivers for Scientific Linux 3 as a KVM virtualized guest. Users may see various warnings during package installation, including: * Different versions of package are already installed. Older versions of the package may cause "File exists" error messages to appear. The package will install successfully the error messages just inform the user that files for devices exist. This warning can be ignored. * If the previous installed package was for a different kernel (for example, kmod-virtio-smp on hugemem system), the installation will fail. Modules cannot be inserted and a "Wrong number of arguments" error message will appear. To fix this issue, create nodes manually as covered in the README file. This issue can be prevented by installing the correct drivers for the kernel package.
