[Solved]Virtualbox : can't insert netflt & netadp modules

I've been trying to get the network working in the guest(xp) machine. For some reason NAT network doesn't work. So I tried  host interface networking. For that I need to insert module vboxnetflt. When I try to insert the module it says : Invalid module format. Same thing happens when I try to insert vboxnetadp. However vboxdrv works fine.

I have tried both ose & binary package from the AUR. Same thing happens with both versions. I have tried recompiling the modules again & again but it doesn't work.

It's probably not an update kernel issue because I had this issue before the kernel update too.

Here's what happens :

[root@Daedalus noel]# /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
:: Removing old VirtualBox netadp kernel module                                                                       [DONE] 
:: Removing old VirtualBox netflt kernel module                                                                       [DONE] 
:: Removing old VirtualBox kernel module                                                                              [DONE] 
:: Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules                                                                              [DONE] 
[root@Daedalus noel]# modprobe vboxdrv
[root@Daedalus noel]# modprobe vboxnetflt
FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/misc/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format
[root@Daedalus noel]# modprobe vboxnetadp
FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetadp (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/misc/vboxnetadp.ko): Invalid module format

kernel : kernel26 2.6.34.3-1
virtualbox version : virtualbox-ose 3.2.8-1
I'm on 32 bit arch if that helps.

Re: [Solved]Virtualbox : can't insert netflt & netadp modules

please post the output of pacman -Qs virtualbox

i want to be sure that you don't have virtualbox-ose-additions-modules installed.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
