https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=421894 Summary: virtualbox application cannot be started because the kernel module is missing Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: tomas@jikos.cz QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other The virtual box application comes with a kernel module that helps the virtualization. The OpenSuse package does not allow the user to compile the module for any kernel and the module comes in another package: virtualbox-ose-kmp-* But the repository lacks a package for recent kernel: papouch:~ # rpm -ql virtualbox-ose-kmp-pae /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/updates /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/updates/vboxadd.ko /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/updates/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/2.6.25.5-1.1-pae/updates/vboxvfs.ko papouch:~ # uname -r 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae papouch:~ # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged. done Starting VirtualBox kernel module failed (Kernel module not found) I tried to compile the module from source package but I get an error about missing gcc41 package. When I replace gcc41 in spec with gcc43, the package (with the kernel module) builds just fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
