Disable VMware PVSCSI driver & hv_vmbus SOLVED

Where in the config are the options to disable:

hv_vmbus: registering driver hyperv_fb
VMware PVSCSI driver - version 1.0.7.0-k

running
Reboot (SNAPSHOT, r3582-8873474)
Linux apu 4.9.10 #0 SMP Sat Feb 25 10:15:09 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Really, nobody :confused:

Your question is quite unspecific. Do you want to disable them in an offical image or in a self compiled firmware?

@jow In a self compiled firmware for an APU2.

For anyone else looking to do the same, these are built into the kernel and can be modified via make kernel_menuconfig (thanks to jow on irc).

Here are the entries to check:
