Hi,
I have a server that risks being lost by this tainted modules problem.
I have a server that is on a data center. It has a 3Ware 9550 raid controller.
I know that this Raid controller is not GPL, it is a module in the kernel
since version 2.6.14.
My biggest problem right now is that I have made an up-grade with yast and
I have choosen to up-grade the kernel.
My problem is that in my home PC at home the same up-grade stopped
lm_sensors because lm85 does not have a GPL code license.

and dmesg gives the result:

hwmon: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
hwmon_vid: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.
lm85: module not supported by Novell, setting U taint flag.

I am scared to reboot the server because I fear that the same could happen
to the raid controller module. As the raid is the only partition on the
server it might never recover because of this.
Can someone please let me know if this might happen.
Regards,
Pedro
