[Bug 668467] New: virtualbox should allow kernel modules rebuild
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668467 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668467#c0 Summary: virtualbox should allow kernel modules rebuild Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: mludvig@logix.net.nz QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20110121 Firefox/4.0b10 The packaged virtualbox is intentionally modified to disallow kernel modules build using "vboxdrv setup" with a message "Recompiling VirtualBox vboxadd kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged." This is quite annoying - after a kernel upgrade in 11.4 M6 I could no longer use VirtualBox since the corresponding KMP package did not exist. Nor I could switch to the VirtualBox from virtualbox.org as they don't have a package for 11.4 and the one for 11.3 couldn't be cleanly installed. IMO the OpenSUSE virtualbox package should still support "vboxdrv setup" or perhaps "vboxdrv setup-really-really-i-am-sure" if you prefer to discourage users from compiling the modules. But being left out of luck after an upgrade to a testing kernel is no good.
