[SOLVED] No module for virtualbox-ose with 2.6.27
Hi there,
I just upgraded and noticed, that virtualbox isn't starting. Probing vboxdrv manually doesn't work because there is no module for the current kernel. The packages virtualbox-modules was upgraded with the system-upgrade. I'm using virtualbox-modules-2.0.2-3.pkg.tar.gz.
So I'm compiling the modules manually with ABS right now, will report the results.
Edit: After compiling and installing, there is still no working module

You only need to recompile virtualbox-modules. I did that yesterday and worked flawlessly.
The thing you have to notice, is that you must update the kernel version defined in the PKGBUILD and virtualbox-modules.install:
cp -r /var/abs/community/modules/virtualbox-modules .
cd virtualbox-modules
sed -i 's|2.6.26-ARCH|2.6.27-ARCH|' PKGBUILD virtualbox-modules.install
