Apparently, it is no longer possible to compile virtualbox modules with linux-pf sources.
This is what I am getting:

sudo dkms install vboxhost/4.2.6

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area.....
make KERNELRELEASE=3.7-pf -C /usr/lib/modules/3.7-pf/build M=/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.2.4/build........(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.7-pf (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.2.4/build/make.log for more information.

I tried older vbox versions - same thing.

EDIT:
Apparently, it was cause by adding the version.h to be able to compile nvidia drivers.

Is ZCACHE2 going to be introduced to linux-pf as default in config (as in official archlinux kernel) ? I am also interested in the pre-compiled linux-pf versions.

It will, at the next pf release. The precompiled pf kernels also follow the AUR linux-pf config to the letter.

Phlogiston · 2013-02-11 05:01:24

Are you guys missing the standard linux-pf package from the official repo either? Was this removed?

nous · 2013-02-11 23:48:00

Building one right now, should be up for grabs in less than an hour.

I got this error when trying to load nvidia driver:

cuihao-tp430-arch $ sudo modprobe nvidia -v                               ~ (1)
insmod /lib/modules/3.7-pf/extramodules/nvidia.ko.gz 
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': Exec format error

The kernel package (linux-pf-core2 3.7.4-1) and driver package (nvidia-pf-core2 313.18-1) is from the dropbox repo.
Any solution?

I suspect the nvidia packages (which were built after linux-pf building finished) might be built against 3.7.4-2 (which has a small but critical change in config: ZCACHE2 and was uploaded a few hours after 3.7.4-1). Now, I use an automagic script for that job, which always downloads the latest tarballs from the AUR and it would need to rebuild all linux-pf packages again. Can't you just build nvidia-pf from the AUR? You'll need to symlink version.h first though, see comments in nvidia-304xx-pf. A "definitive" fix for version.h is in 3.7.4-3 (only in bitbucket ATM).

The build box is building 3.7.5; all 3.7.4 prebuilts are removed to make space, sorry. Please try again in a few hours for i686s - all x86_64s (including nvidia-pf ones) are up for grabs.

Is TOI working with 3.8.1? I'm still using 3.6.11 here since with 3.7. there were often problems…

nous · 2013-03-17 17:37:06

Haven't tested yet, the last 3.7 though froze/thawed flawlessly.

Until the maintainer of nvidia-pf over at the AUR updates the PKGBUILD, edit the versions manually.

Thank you, nous. After I read your reply, I dared to compile pf-kernel 3.8.1 for my Debian. Here TOI works fine too (with THP disabled before hibernation and enabled after it through pm)

Your post being no. 666, it's no wonder you had success!

The patchset author usually compiles generic binaries for debian too, which could save you the trouble compiling the kernel yourself.

Yes, I know that but I prefer to compile it myself with an extra tweak and also with the Liquorix config, which I fully trust in.

Hello there,

I am currently trying to get aufs3 to work (linux-pf-3.8.1 from repository).

According to the mailling list I am either using the wrong include path (In my case /lib/modules/3.8.1-pf/build/include/ after AUR ) or make headers_install ist missing in the kernel build.

The error I am getting is:

==> Beginne build()...
cc -march=native -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I./libau -O -Wall -I/lib/modules/3.8.1-pf/build/include/ -DMOUNT_CMD_PATH=\"\" -Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro  ver.c   -o ver

make: *** [ver] Error 1

It also might be that the patch set used in the repository was flawed and needs to be rebuild. Discussion in Maillinglist

Does anybody has managed to get aufs tu run successfully with 3.8 and if so with what settings?

Cheers Valentin

I don't use aufs3 at all and only added it after a request. But if anyone figures out how, I'll happily fix it.

Sadly the kernel build isn't working for me right now...

  LD [M]  drivers/xen/xen-privcmd.o
  LD      drivers/built-in.o
==> FEHLER: Ein Fehler geschah in build().
    Breche ab ...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build linux-pf.

Sometimes I do miss genkernel (old gentoo user here)

When did you last rebuild the packages in the linux-pf repo? As far as I can tell there went some fixes upstream roundabout 4 days ago.

Furthermore the git url have changed, but the old ones are still there.

Cheers Valentin

Hello all,

The aufs project on SourceForge is upgrading now.
The new repositories will be
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/aufs/aufs3-linux aufs-aufs3-linux
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/aufs/aufs3-standalone aufs-aufs3-standalone
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/aufs/aufs-util aufs-aufs-util

The old repositories are still avaialble.
git://aufs.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aufs/aufs3-linux.git 
git://aufs.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aufs/aufs3-standalone.git 
git://aufs.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/aufs/aufs-util.git

The SourceForge engineering team seems to be working on aufs3-linux tree
still.
Until completing the work, the GIT repository may not be accessible or
may provide obsolete status.

The packages in the repo were built within a day after the release of 3.8.1-5. I can't test-build every now and then, obviously, but I do my best to fix all reported issues. I especially appreciate PKGBUILD patches, since my time is really limited.

I got it to work and you can find a diff here.

I don't know if this breaks anything and my knowledge about stuff like that is quite limited. If I can help you test please tell me.

As far as I understand via make headers_install you export the userspace kernel headers, but previously only the kernelside headers were exported. So in my understanding it might be that what I did is not right and instead of only exporting the userspace headers one should also export the kernelside headers, but to different locations. But as I said my knowledge is quite limited there.

I had already fixed the aufs3 git URL in the bitbucket repository of linux-pf, but I really don't want to deviate from the stock linux-ARCH PKGBUILD.

Eventually, I'm getting the same error as you.

I updated the PKGBUILD to linux-pf 3.8.2, currently im building builds for sandy and ivvy-bridge. In the next days I'll add a repo, with the most builds for sandy, ivvy bridge , generic etc.
