[opensuse] vboxdrv module can't load using xen kernel
I'm trying to have Virtualbox running on my xen kernel system. But i can't load this module, and because of that, i can't use Virtualbox on this kernel. Any tip? NOTE: If i use a non-xen-kernel, i can use VirtualBox. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Tip/Solution: Don't try and run VirtualBox in a Xen environment. Similarly to VMware, you're trying to load kernel modules into a heavily modified kernel (heavily modified in the areas your modules work anyway). Oddly enough this doesn't work. In Xen you're running the Xen kernel on the bare metal and _everything_ else is hosted here, so a lot of the interfaces (to the hardware) are different. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
