Hello,
Apparently the vmware scsi drivers were uploaded only for 32bit kernels. The extension name is vm-scsi-2.6.33.6-tinycore.tcz. I could really use a tinycore64 version of the package (or I could also build it myself if needed).
Thanks!

Some of them are in the larger -scsi extension, so if you pick one of those for the adapter type, you can use that extension.

BusLogic: BusLogic
LSI SCSI: mptsas
LSI SAS: mptspi
PVSCSI: vmw_pvscsi
The mpt* modules seem to be missing for the 64-bit kernel but are in the drivers/message/fusion/ directory not drivers/scsi/ so that may be how it got missed in extension generation.

Is there any chance of making a vmscsi-tinycore64 package with these modules ? I remember building them for -32 for tinycore-3.3 but I would need gcc-amd64 in this case (compiletc apparently only has gcc-i686).
The BusLogic extension from scsi-tinycore64 works, but in some cases (windows already installed in virtual machine) changing the scsi adaptor type in the .vmx config file does not work.

You can use the toolchain64 and toolchain64-lib extensions to build 64bit stuff

IIRC, theres also a reference in the VMDK. ESX(i) make it easy now to change SCSI adapters. I don't know the status of other platforms.
