Vbox Kernel Module and .24

Hi,

does someone else have the problem that he isn't able to build the virtualbox kernel module with the .24 kernel?

This does only work for Virtualbox OSE Edition. For the binary you must rebuild the kernel module and it won't compile without the patch.

Re: Vbox Kernel Module and .24

upgrade to the latest version of virtualbox_bin (1.5.4) and the module will compile well on 2.6.24

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