[Bug 408703] New: /etc/init.d/ vboxdrv setup not working because kernel module changed directory
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=408703 Summary: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup not working because kernel module changed directory Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bart@geesink.org QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Since I installed the latest kernel update (2.6.25.9-0.2-default), the virtualbox (open source edition, the one supplied with openSUSE virtualbox-ose-1.5.6-33.1) kernel module wasn't loaded automatically anymore with the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup thing. Upon looking at the script, I saw that at line 109, this line is present: kdir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates However, after the latest kernel updates, it is located in: kdir=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/weak-updates Changing that line was for me the fix. Perhaps that fix could be included in the next update of the Virtualbox package?

Doing "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" instead (like proposed) however will just result in "Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged." However, compiling the module yourself is not necessary anyways, since the prepackaged module will work with the current kernel just fine after that line in the init script has been changed. Oh, and can we have a patch for this? At the moment VirtualBox on openSUSE 11.0 with all updates applied is broken, which is not so great. -- 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.
