FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found (but there is)

TheSaint · 2009-10-16 09:25:03

Hi,
last update brought me a new kernel, so I re-made the vboxdrv and it's found in /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/misc/vboxdrv.ko. Also modprobe will load the driver.
I've put it on module list in /etc/rc.conf, but a boot doesn't load "FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found" it's said

I fix a ugly patch in rc.local, but I'd like to know what cause this impasse.

Seems doesn't solve

$ depmod -anv |grep vbox
/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/misc/vboxnetflt.ko needs "SUPDrvLinuxIDC": /lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/misc/vboxdrv.ko
misc/vboxnetadp.ko:
misc/vboxdrv.ko:
misc/vboxnetflt.ko: misc/vboxdrv.ko
alias symbol:SUPDrvLinuxIDC vboxdrv

Also compiling the module giving some error. I think the make still try to modprobe -ae but the newer modprobe require a new parameter, which could be -E or -F. in fact >

My laptop doesn't have such problem (yet)

I have the exact same problem. Anyone can give a hint on how to solve this? Have been googling it for several hours without luck, don't reallt know where to go.

'modprobe vboxdrv' always works, but having the module autoloaded on boot won't work (vboxdrv is added to rc.conf).

The output and errors on my 64-bit installation is the exact same as the original poster.

Oops. In my case it was a case of typo in rc.conf. Fixed it.
