Hi Guys,

just want to report that I updated to the lates kernels today and have found that VirtualBox is broken with the latest kernels in that the modules won't compile.

When trying to start VirtualBox I get a message saying to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and when I do I get

Code: Select all
 $ /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
WARNING: "include /lib/module-init-tools/modprobe.compat" is deprecated, please use /etc/modprobe.d
WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.

Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.1.0-0.rc7.1.mga2 (x86_64)

/var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.1.0/build/ for more information.

Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules                             [FAILED]
  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)



(these fail to compile when starting the kernel too...

The file is attached.

Thanks..

Peter.

Same deal with rc8. Anyone got any ideas on this?

Peter.

Just done. Looks like I'm having issues installing some of the new packages too with lots of

perl: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.
: Not a directory
perl: "include /lib/module-init-tools/modprobe.compat" is deprecated, please use /etc/modprobe.d
: No such file or directory

messages.
