[SOLVED] Installing Virtualbox DKMS on 4.15.0.rc2 Kernel fails
Hey Community,
in order to use Vagrant, I tried to install Virtualbox under 4.15.0.rc2 Kernel. I typically need this kernel because of the NPT Patch. But when I try to install the DKMS modules, it errors with a bad return status. This is the complete make.log:
DKMS make.log for vboxhost-5.2.2_OSE for kernel 4.15.0-rc2-mainline (x86_64)
So 3. Dez 18:27:10 CET 2017

Re: [SOLVED] Installing Virtualbox DKMS on 4.15.0.rc2 Kernel fails
Are yous sure you want 4.15.0.rc2 that was released only a few hours ago if you do see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9985967/
The NPT patch is in 4.14.3 by the way.

Ok, didn't noticed that. That solves my problem! 
Thanks
EDIT Even if this does not solve the problem for the specific kernel, it solves my problem so I makred this as solved.

Re: [SOLVED] Installing Virtualbox DKMS on 4.15.0.rc2 Kernel fails
Hello,
Came here by Just googling.
Are you sure it is for 4.15 kernels? From the patch I can read a 4.8.0 kernel version
Regards,
Josep

Re: [SOLVED] Installing Virtualbox DKMS on 4.15.0.rc2 Kernel fails
@jedjep yes I used greater than or equal to 4.8.0 to avoid doing the following:
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 8, 0)
init_timer_pinned(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer);
#elif LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 15, 0)
timer_setup(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer,
rtTimerLinuxStdCallback, TIMER_PINNED);
#else
init_timer(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer);
#endifI found the following simpler and timer_setup was available in 4.8.0 to keep from a code mismatch the earlier test uses 4.8.0 as well
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(4, 8, 0)
timer_setup(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer,
rtTimerLinuxStdCallback, TIMER_PINNED);
#else
init_timer(&pTimer->aSubTimers[iCpu].u.Std.LnxTimer);
#endifHowever no patch should be needed with the current arch packages.
