VB issue Compiling modules: Versions?
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4YQ7C)
I have: Slackware64-Current (Recently updated); VirtualBox-6.0.0, installed with the .run file, & matching guest additions; Kernel-5.4.14 (Recently updated); gcc-9.2.0.
On booting up, Virtualbox tries to make the modules, thinks hard, fails, and tells me to check dmesg. dmesg has nothing logged from vb. /lib/modules/version/misc has nothing at all. The only logging is this:Code:From /var/log/messages: These lines
Jan 31 15:26:37 RoseViolet vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
Jan 31 15:26:37 RoseViolet vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
And a few minutes later
Jan 31 15:27:33 RoseViolet vboxdrv.sh: VirtualBox kernel modules built.
Jan 31 15:27:33 RoseViolet vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.And dmesg is quiet. I do vaguely remember hacking a vb script because it was building modules every boot which was a pain, and generating piles of build directories, but it's been fine and undisturbed and not involved in this latest update. Everything worked fine for kernel-4.19.59, which I haven't uninstalled yet.
