Hello guys,

I found no package for the virtualbox guest-tools for SLES12, so I decided to try and build it. I took the leap 42.3 virtualbox package and tried to get it to build the tools only.

With some fumbling I got it to build: home:ojkastl_buildservice:Virtualbox_guest-tools_SLES12

I tried installing the packages (I am just after the no-X11-tools), which worked.

Loading the kernel-modules failed, with an error that might be related to wrong kernel version (or maybe not):

...

# modprobe --allow-unsupported vboxsf modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': Numerical result out of range

Anything in dmesg?

Same with vboxguest.ko. Same on SP3, SP2 and SP1. As this is the first kmp package I am building, I am puzzled.

The error might be due to the fact that the modules are built for kernel 4.4.73, while the machine run 4.4.92. But if I understand the weak-updates links correctly, this should not matter.

Well, ERANGE is returned when symbol look fails; I expect kernel messages about what names could not be resolved.

Or did I build a wrong architecture by disabling the requirements for gcc-32bit and xorg*-32bit (which was the only way I got the package to build, as the guest-tools-x11 needs x11 dependencies obviously).

If anyone has a hint or RTFM or can have a look at the spec, this would be highly appreciated.

Kind Regards, Johannes

Hello Johannes,

did you try to build against the Backports projects or just SLE ?

A possible error by this code is the module verification failure. I vaguely remember of an issue with incompatibility of OBS signing key. Try to refresh the key once via osc signkey and rebuild, just to be sure.
