Virtualbox kernel 2.6.24 modules!

[snakeeyes]

Hi after upgrading my kernel to 2.6.24-2 which is Hardy's development kernel, I use Gutsy though. Are the kernel modules virtual box for this kernel available? Does any other virtual machine software work with this kernel?

I am not sure but I think you can recompile them if you have virtualbox installed:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Also in virtualbox site there is a .run package which should work with custom kernels. But you will also need to run the above command after installing.

As far as I understand every time your kernel is upgraded, you need to do this. With kernel source the process should be easy.

No, its ok forget it. I tried compiling it and it didn't work. I don't think virtualbox supports this kernel yet.

You need to recompile the vboxdrv module for your running kernel, thus you need either the kernel-headers or kernel-source and do:

sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source

I'm not sure, but I think simply switching to Virtualbox 1.5.4 fixes this.

Gutsys deb package works for Hardy.

The manual is a good start for "newbies"....:)

Great news! I thought I was going to have to wait for an update to the OSE version in the repositories.
