This is in fact a problem with debian's kernel package, which is inherited by devuan. Specifically, the vbox guest modules are compiled into the kernel included with debian/devuan, which seems to cause the building of the guest modules to fail when the guest additions are being installed. Reconfiguring the kernel build to exclude the vbox guest modules and compiling a custom kernel should allow the modules included with the guest additions to build and install successfully.
I appreciate this information as I was unaware that vbox modules were included in the kernel distribution.
However, I note that the modules provided by Debian are not located in the kernel/misc directory under /lib/modules where vbox looks for them. vbox generates modules there, which are presumably the ones loaded, and which work successfully, and which are NOT recompiled every time the virtual machine is restarted; this can be checked from the file timestamps.
I still think that the problem is triggering of an incorrect message. _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
