Kernel upgrade broke VirtualBox modules

Hi guys,

after upgrading the kernel from linux-3.4.4-3 to linux-3.4.5-1 the VirtualBox modules for the new kernel aren't generated automatically.

Downgrading the kernel helps, but that's just an interim solution. Does anyone know how to build the modules manually? 'vboxbuild' and '/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup' is obviously deprecated. Even on virtualbox.org I couldn't find clear instructions.

I really don't know whether it's a kernel or VirtualBox issue.

Any ideas?

Thx & Rgds

Re: Kernel upgrade broke VirtualBox modules

you should really enable community-testing if you have testing.

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

Re: Kernel upgrade broke VirtualBox modules

why testing? the kernel is in core.

Re: Kernel upgrade broke VirtualBox modules

kernel 3.4.5-1 has just moved to core. The matching precompiled virtualbox-modules are still in community-testing. Just wait a bit longer.
