[opensuse-factory] 11.0 and virtualbox
Hello, after kernel update (to 2.6.25.20-0.1-default) i installed Virtual box (virtualbox-ose-1.5.6-33.1) witch one doesn't work: # /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) manually modules load just fine, problem is that /etc/init.d/vboxdrv script looks for them in: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates but really they are in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/weak-updates Creating symlink between them solves problem. In last used kernel (2.6.25.18-0.2-default) were no "weak-updates" directory (witch caused problem) only "updates". Can i call this issue a bug? -- Mindaugas Vaiciulis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Can i call this issue a bug? Yes, i found it also, but i havent looked why it doesn't works anymore.
Maybe the correlation from updates and weak updats is it why this nvidia driver frome the repo doesnt work for me and some others. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You could check the openSUSE packages at Sun, the latest is VirtualBox-2.1.2. I have it working with the latest vanilla kernel 2.6.29-rc2-git1 on 11.2 Alpha0 x86_64. http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/vboxdownload.html#linux Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...

modprobe vboxdrv still works though. so it is a bug in the vboxdrv setup script, that checks for /updates/ (hardcoded) instead of weak-updates.
