I know about this already. Comment further down :) > Did you change the sources' install location without modifying all > references to it? Mmm, sort of. I still think /usr/src is the most appropriate location for kernel module sources, that's why I placed them there initially. The vbox-devs implemented rc.vboxdrv setup way later and went unnoticed until recently. My position on this is that I'm not going to fix it for 12.2, as it's a non- issue from my perspective. I see no valid reason an init-script should compile kernel-modules. Everyone who needs to recompile the kernel module for a newer kernel can either use the virtualbox-kernel.SlackBuild or go to /usr/src and build it by hand. I have it already "fixed" for 13.0 in the form of removing "setup" completely. Grs, Heinz
