Please reinstall the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. I couldn't find anything with "zypper search dkms", so I assume vboxdrv.ko is supposed to come prepackaged with openSUSE, and indeed there is # rpm -ql virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop/updates /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop/updates/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop/updates/vboxnetadp.ko /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop/updates/vboxnetflt.ko /lib/modules/3.7.10-1.11-desktop/updates/vboxpci.ko /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates/vboxdrv.ko /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates/vboxnetadp.ko /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates/vboxnetflt.ko /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates/vboxpci.ko But those are still the kernel modules for the previous kernel version 3.11.6! It seems that openSUSE updated the kernel yesterday to 3.11.10-7, but forgot to update virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop at the same time, and therefore there is now no vboxdrv.ko matching the current kernel available. I've tried to load the available old driver with /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/3.11.6-4-desktop/updates/vboxdrv.ko But that just results in the error message Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Stackato-v3.0.1. Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). Failed to attach the network LUN (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). Could you please recompile virtualbox-host-kmp-desktop for the current kernel and push it out as an update? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run "zypper update" to get latest kernel 3.11.10-7.1 2. Run VirtualBox and start a virtual machine with bridge configuration. 3. -- 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.
