Virtualbox Modules error

Hi everybody.
I'm new to arch.

I recently installed grsecurity on my fresh archlinux install. After that I tried to use virtualbox but say me to rebuild the modules with

 sudo /sbin/rcvboxdrv setup 

Here is the output :

Unloading modules: 
Loading modules: modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetadp not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.3.201607070721-1-grsec
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.3.201607070721-1-grsec
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxpci not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.3.201607070721-1-grsec
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found in directory /lib/modules/4.6.3.201607070721-1-grsec

I tried to :
- uninstall reinstall virtualbox-host-dkms
- replace virtualbox-host-dkms with virtualbox-host-modules-arch
- install linux-headers or linux-grsec-headers
-

 sudo dkms autoinstall -k 4.6.3.201607070721-1-grsec 

with this output :

Building module:

I checked /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/5.0.24_OSE/build/make.log ( but don't understand very well) :

Could someone enlight me ? smile
Thx in advance.

Re: Virtualbox Modules error

Recent updates have made virtualbox really easy to get running on Arch. Have you read the wiki page on virtualbox?
You shouldn't have to do anything mode than install the required packages and reboot. smile

What I would suggest trying from now is:

- uninstall anything virtualbox related
- pacman -Syu
- reboot the system
- install virtualbox and either virtualbox-host-modules-arch or virtualbox-host-dkms (which will automatically build the dkms module)
- you may have to reboot again for the modules to load, or load them manually

edit: oops just realized you said you're running grsecurity... I'd say you'll have to disable some security features of grsecurity or use an alternative to virtualbox (or alternative to grsecurity) - sounds like others have experienced similar problems. See also compatibility issues on the wiki.

Re: Virtualbox Modules error

hey, I´m experiencing the same problem building the virtualbox guest modules against the grsec kernel. did you find a solution? I even tried building my own kernel with no success for building the modules afterwards. Which kernel settings exactly would have to be done before compiling?

thanks
