[SOLVED] module problems after kernel update

after update to linux-3.10.10-1 I cannot load some modules anymore:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tp_smapi': Exec format error
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'hdaps': Exec format error
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error

seems to be all thinkpad modules plus virtualbox. Probably these packages need an update to work with new kernel..?

Re: [SOLVED] module problems after kernel update

Probably they do, yes. How exactly did you update? Did you do pacman -Su (or -Syu), or did you selectively update just some packages? You aren't supposed to update just parts of your system – if you do, weird things happen – such as your kernel suddenly not loading all your modules.

Did you reboot?

Re: [SOLVED] module problems after kernel update

The problem is fixed in virtualbox-host-modules 4.2.16-9.

Re: [SOLVED] module problems after kernel update

I did a complete pacman -Syu, seems that virtualbox and tp_smapi were outdated with the new kernel. I just received new packages for these two and modules can be loaded again..
