[SOLVED] ck-kernel (core-2 + nvidia) issues with virtualbox modules

signal11 · 2011-12-05 04:55:36

hi,

i frequently use virtualbox, and i have just installed the 'nvidia-ck-corex' kernel and the 'linux-ck-headers'. in order to continue using virtualbox on the new kernel, i needed to compile 'vboxdrv, vboxnetadp, vboxnetflt, vboxpci' modules. compilation of these modules using 'vboxbuild' goes through successfully. however, while modprobing vboxdrv, i get the following error :

vboxdrv: version magic '3.1.4-1-ck SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 686 ' should be '3.1.4-1-ck SMP preempt mod_unload modversions CORE2 '.

is anyone else also seeing this issue ? for now, using a '-f' to ignore versioning information in modules seem to work just fine.

thanks

Is this accurate? Post the output of:

pacman -Qq | grep linux

here is the output

fatcat ~ # pacman -Qq | grep linux
archlinux-themes-slim
linux
linux-api-headers
linux-ck-corex
linux-ck-headers
linux-docs
linux-firmware
linux-headers
linux-pae
linux-pae-headers
monaco-linux-font
util-linux
fatcat ~ #

Though so... Your problem is likely related to the fact that you don't have matching Linux-ck/headers. If you used the corex kernel you also need to use the corex headers. Remove the ck headers and replace with the corex headers and see if a rebuild of the fox modules fixes your problem. Be sure to rmmod the existing ones first.

i think you need the linux-ck-corex-headers package instead of linux-ck-headers!
'/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup' should work now (in my case, same kernel/headers, it does!)

thank you ! i just removed the previous modules, and built new ones with the correct header. things now work as expected.

sorry for the noise

edit: how do i update the title of the post to say 'SOLVED' ? thanks !

Editing the first post. That way you can change the thread's title

... I don't understand how you were able to install a mismatched pair since they conflict with one another...

hmm, I just modprobed with a '-f' to disable all checking on versions
