libvirt tainted

Hi!

After upgrading to kernel 3.4.11, dmesg now shows messages about “kernel tainted” for the libvirt module. Reverting to 3.4.6 solved the problem. The message appears as soon as /etc/init.d/libvirtd is started.
Couldn’t find anything googling.

My system is OpenSuse 12.2 64-bit.

Thanks!

I don’t know what it means - haven’t seen or paid attention to this message either. I just started virt-manager on kernel 3.4.11 and launched a kvm virtual machine. It works.

Tainted means “non open and free” module. A bugzilla on the kernel with
a tainted module will be ignored.

if libvirt is open, then then it doesn’t announce the fact properly.
