The diff between the two diffs contains more than 1 million lines. Use interdiff, part of patchutils. Thank you very much for this hint! Actually I see only one new patch which is different from the *etch3 kernel bugfix/fcntl_setlk-close-race.patch and this patch cannot be responsible for your compile problems. Your error message look more like you are trying to compile vboxdrv against an x86_64 kernel but ARCH is set (for some reason) to i386. Which should not happen if your kernel was configured on a x86_64 system. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.

Hi! Replacing debian/rules' section # Set ARCH so we can cross compile made it work for me. So it was wrong for me to blame the kernel header version update rather than an earlier version change of virtualbox-ose-source, which probably broke it. Thanks or finding this and TIA for fixing!
