[arch-general] Virtualbox with upgraded kernel
hi List, I've upgraded to kernel 2.6.32 and virtual box dosn't work. I looked at the wiki re the various methods of upgrading the driver: [root@laptop pkg]# vbox_build_module Building vboxdrv for Linux 2.6.32-ARCH make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv' for f in . linux r0drv r0drv/linux VBox common/err common/string common/log generic math/gcc; \ do rm -f $f/*.o $f/.*.cmd $f/.*.flags; done rm -rf .vboxdrv* .tmp_ver* vboxdrv.* Module.symvers Modules.symvers modules.order make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv' make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetflt' for f in . linux r0drv r0drv/linux VBox common/err common/string common/log generic math/gcc; \ do rm -f $f/*.o $f/.*.cmd $f/.*.flags; done rm -rf .vboxnetflt* .tmp_ver* vboxnetflt.* Modules.symvers modules.order make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetflt' make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetadp' for f in . linux r0drv r0drv/linux VBox common/err common/string common/log generic math/gcc; \ do rm -f $f/*.o $f/.*.cmd $f/.*.flags; done rm -rf .vboxnetadp* .tmp_ver* vboxnetadp.* Modules.symvers modules.order make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxnetadp' rm -f vboxdrv.ko vboxnetflt.ko vboxnetadp.ko *** Building 'vboxdrv' module *** make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/VirtualBox/src/vboxdrv' Makefile:147: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel.

kernel26-2.6.32.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz kernel-headers-2.6.32-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz installed already. Are you sure that is the problem? - there dosn't seem to be a 32-2 headers package. Regards Ricahrd

Read carefully. kernel26-headers. Not just kernel-headers.

Thank you so much to both Ray and Leandro , all is well again, I depend on VBox to download pathology and use my one windows tool - sql manager for postgresql Never ceases to amaze me the speed and generosity of people who help each other over the internet (specially for us 'older users' with slower brains) Regards, and thanks again.
Dude look that deps, depends=('libxmu' 'gcc' 'make' 'kernel26-headers') You need kernel26-headers, some issues about new kernel series [1]. And some comments about that (virtualbox bin) in [2].

Richard, I can confirm that after the latest kernel update, VirtualBox is dead. You were lucky, after I started vb, and small dialog appeared saying "spawning" and then my box locked. I was able to grab a screenshot before the box blackscreened: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/vbspawn800.jpg fullsized: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/vbspawn.jpg I had to power-off the box to shutdown. Another (possibly related) issue is that X is now consuming 75-90% of my CPU. Something is not right.

Just did a pacman -Syy && pacman -Su got the latest kernel and headers rebuilt VirtualBox modules and Virtualbox is running well here. I am using VirtualBox downloaded from www.virtualbox.org and not the arch package.

Paul, Thank you for the info. Glad to know it looks like a general issue. I need to finish reading all responses to this thread, but through the automatic update checking the VB does, I notice there is another snapshot of 2.12 out. Dunno if it will fix the issue, but if I get time I'll try to build it with the AUR scripts and report back. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello everyone, fist post to the mailling list here, hope I'm doing it right. About virtualbox crashing, I had the same problem, I decided to test it after seeing the posts here and indeed it crashed my box. It would just show the progress bar with spawning .... After rebuilding the virtualbox modules it started working fine again (I'm using virtualbox_bin from the AUR). Maybe this is why it works fine for people that change from virtualbox_ose to virtualbox_bin, the modules are automatically rebuilt upon install.

I can confirm that rebuilding the VirtualBox modules works. This problem is interestingly similar to the aufs2 package which also started acting weirdly with 2.6.32.3 and works fine after a rebuild.

Hi David, I had the same issue: after upgrading to 2.6.32, my system would freeze when starting a VM. I was using virtualbox-ose from community. I removed virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-modules and installed virtualbox_bin from AUR. This one works flawlessly. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Alberto
