[opensuse-packaging] Building virtualbox-guest-tools for SLES12: error during loading of kernel-modules
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
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. 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

Anything in dmesg?

Well, ERANGE is returned when symbol look fails; I expect kernel messages about what names could not be resolved.
Hi Andrei, sorry for the late answer, was offline for a couple of days. On 19.11.17 07:00 Andrei Borzenkov wrote:

No, nothing.

No, there are actually no messages at all in dmesg or journalctl when loading the modules... Johannes

Hello Johannes, did you try to build against the Backports projects or just SLE ? -- Christian ------------------------------------------------------------ https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=177038 ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.sc24.de - Sportbekleidung ------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org

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.
