Hello list, I installed VirtualBox (2.0.6, PUEL RPM) on my OpenSuSE 11.0 laptop. I use a BuildService kernel (kernel-pae-2.6.27.4-3.1) instead of the default one -- I need it to support the latest Intel chipset in my brand new Dell E6500.
Compilation of the vboxdrv kernel module is successful, but the module then refuses to load with the following message: "vboxdrv: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module" The headers for that specific kernel version were not provided on the BuildService, so what I did is the following: - get the matching kernel sources from kernel.org - copy the .config provided by the BuildService kernel into the kernel source tree - rebuild the kernel + all modules. Build was successful. - based on the log it produces, the vboxdrv module compilation process clearly uses this compiled source tree for its headers (which is what I wanted). Any idea why it doesn't work ? TIA Ph.
