- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to invalid
This is not a bug. The Additions are installed correctly. The DRM module cannot be built. This is expected on some Linux distributions.

- Summary changed from RHEL6.2 64bit guest addition breakage to RHEL6.2 64bit guest addition breakage -> fixed as of 6 Jan 2012
Closer inspection showed that this is due to changes in the RHEL/OEL kernel relative to the same version number upstream. The Additions test build linked below (usual disclaimers apply) should contain the fix.
