[opensuse-kernel] where to find vboxdrv for kernel 2.6.28?
Where can I find the source for virtualbox kernel module vboxdrv.ko? (running the new 2.6.28.7 kernel on openSUSE 11.1 needs to recompile it) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

You can manually install Virtualbox (not using packages) and then call /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup after every kernel update. Don't know if you will find any precompiled vboxdrv module for 2.6.28. -- Rafał Miłecki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

I found the kernel source for the modules from ubuntu. But why there is nothing at the openSUSE repositories? Shortly there was a brainstorming in Prague about why openSUSE for Linux beginners is good while advanced people are leaving openSUSE. I think this was such an example again ... :-( I would like to inform the maintainer of the repo Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_11.1/ Do you know how to get in contakt ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

There is no way to prepare kernel modules for every available kernel ABI. That's the problem that makes you compile module kernel yourself. $ wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUS... $ rpm -q -p virtualbox-ose-2.1.4-8.2.x86_64.rpm --changelog | grep "@" | head -n 5 gives you two mails: suse-tux at-server gmx.de dmueller at-server suse.de -- Rafał Miłecki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org

11.1 is currently at 2.6.27.19 and Virtualization:VirtualBox does provide packages for this kernel. If you compile your own kernel, you need to compile the external modules as well. BTW the sources are in the virtualbox-ose-*.src.rpm package or in the buildservice (build.opensuse.org, requires an account).
