Fedora :: VirtualBox - Unable To Find Kernel Sources
Dec 28, 2009
How can I use DKMS to force the virtualbox setup to run using the correct kernel sources? This is the error I'm getting in the vbox logs
Code:
Attempting to install using DKMS
removing old DKMS module vboxdrv version 3.1.2
Deleting module version: 3.1.2
completely from the DKMS tree.
Done.
Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv/3.1.2/source ->
/usr/src/vboxdrv-3.1.2
DKMS: add Completed.

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.

host: CentOS 5.4
guest: FC12
Virtual Machine: Virtual Box 3.1.4
I can not for the work get Virtual Box's Additions to install in my FC12 guest. The error log (/var/log/vboxadd-install.log) shows: Makefile:23: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop.
I have tried:
# KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels

# KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686/kernel

I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:
[code]...
When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?

I have installed Arch Linux quite a few weeks ago; but I'm still trying my best to install the nividia display driver for my graphics card (nVidia Geforce 2 MX 400). Not only in Arch but have tried installing on other distros and still failed. I have read up all the documentations and I still find it hard to do this task. When I used the terminal and executed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-94.43.01-pkg1.run file without any window manager running, I get this problem:
ERROR: Unable to determine the version of the kernel sources located in '/lib/modules/2.6.35-ARCH/build'. Please make sure you have installed the kernel source files for your kernel and that they are properly configured; on Red Hat Linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' or 'kernel-devel' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-source-path' command line option.
ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at nvidia.com.
Now I'm using Arch Linux Kernel 2.6.35 and I have got the source. But where am I suppose to put it now? I do not want to change the kernel. I just want the nVidia installer to identify that there is a kernel source so that it can install. I have searched up a lot on websites and ended up with no proper guide.
This is a very old driver. So since now I have the nVidia driver installation package and also the kernel source,

The rest of the message is " located in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-server/build". The version is Ubuntu server 8.04. Why can't it, and how can I help it along?

Building an nVidia driver requires sources for the currently-running kernel. In my case (Fedora 12), it is, according to 'uname -a',
2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686
I thought I could get the sources with 'yum install kernel-sources', but there is no such package. Then I tried 'yum install kernel-devel'. That package exists, but the kernel is
2.6.32.9-67.fc12.i686
This is clearly not the correct version.

I just installed Fedora 13 today, everything is working including the internet. However, when I try to get more programs it says that it cannot find the sources, and a cache reload will fix it. I wasn't sure at first what that ment, being a begginer, but I think it means going into system-refresh package lists. So I do that,ut it still wont give me the program list. I'm really confused, I come from using windows computers and I don't know what to do now, me be a little clearer, when I click on one of the catagores to find software, nothing comes up but the defalt packages that come with the system. I go into the system-Software menu, and there are no boxes cheked. I thought that this maybe to problem, so I try to cheak the top box labled without parentheses "Fedora 13 - 1386". It tells me to authenticate my action and tells me to type the root password, I do this. Then it shows the screen below. I'm running a 32 bit system,

Is it possible to get a package via yum that has the kernel sources? In the "Add/Remove Software" GUI program, I have enabled the "Fedora source" s/w repository. Even then, the only kernel package I can find is the "The Linux Kernel", linux-2.6.27.15-170... which essentially provides only the kernel binaries and headers but not the source.

As it written here [URL]. Fedora 13 does not include the kernel-source package provided by older versions, since only the kernel-devel package is required now to build external modules. Linux kernel, does not belong to fedora. Fedora is derivative work isn't it? Or you rewrite all kernel in fedora 13, and fedora is not linux any more? According to GPL, derivative works must be licensed as GPL. And so you must provide ALL sources for free. Including kernel sources. So, where can I get kernel sources for fedora 13? Or I'm wrong, and you shouldn't provide them if you wont?

I wanted to try VirtualBox so I did:
Code:
yum install vboxgtk
In the list of dependencies I found that it needs to download kernel. I was just curious to know that why can't it manage with the PAE kernel. It requires the kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3.fc12 whereas I've got its PAE version working right now. Can someone please explain why is it so?

When I install the latest F12 kernel, my F12 installation freezes immediately on boot. The previous kernel booted fine. It's a little strange, because if I edit the grub.conf to use the old kernel, the freeze still occurs.Is anyone getting Kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22 to work in virtualbox? (both yes and no answers would be useful here)Does anyone have any idea of the cause (and especially, why updating the kernel would cause the _old_ kernel to freeze as well)

I'm trying to get a fedora guest running reliable smp under VirtualBox 3.0.6. The VirtualBox manual says "Some Linux distributions, for example Fedora, ship a Linux kernel configured for a timer frequency of 1000Hz. We recommend to recompile the guest kernel and to select a timer frequency of 100Hz." So I tried recompiling the kernel. Being a responsible lad, when it came to setting the kernel specs:
Code:
# Polite request for people who spin their own kernel rpms:
# please modify the "buildid" define in a way that identifies
# that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example,
# by setting the define to ".local" or ".bz123456"
#
# % define buildid .local
%define buildid .rim_for_vbox
I've successfully built and installed kernel, headers and firmware:kernel-2.6.30.5-43.rim_for_vbox.fc11.x86_64.rpm
kernel-firmware-2.6.30.5-43.rim_for_vbox.fc11.x86_64.rpm
kernel-headers-2.6.30.5-43.rim_for_vbox.fc11.x86_64.rpm
The system is working fine (well, so far). But trying to install the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel add-ons still gives me
Please install the build and header files for your current Linux kernel. The current kernel version is 2.6.30.5-43.rim_for_vbox.fc11.x86_64. I'm pretty sure this is because my kernel doesn't match the development packagekernel-devel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11 (x86_64). So the key question is, how on Earth do I create a development package to match the responsibly-renamed kernel?

I have installed CentOS 5.4 & am trying to install VirtualBox on it. To install VirtualBox I run the command:
yum localinstall path/Virtualbox.rpm
It runs through the dependency check & says everything is fine. It installs the rpm & then says that compiling of the kernel module failed & that VirtualBox will not start until this is fixed, & that the most like cause is that the kernel sources are not installed.
I have installed the kernel-devel package & have the kernel source tree located at /usr/src/kernel/2.6....

I'm looking for the .config file for the kernel which ubuntu uses to compile the standard generic kernel which is delivered in compiled form. I downloaded the following kernel archive ( 2.6.31.8 ): [URL]... I need the original file, because I'm not able to configure a working kernel, so I want to try to compile the kernel with the standard configuration. Afterwards I'm going to change some options.

I just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2 32bit system. I used "The Perfect Server" server document from Howtoforge and went through those steps and then added Webmin administration console. I then tried to install VMware Workstation 6.5 onto the system. I downloaded the latest VMware bundle, ran it and everything went fine. I then try to run vmware and I get the following messages

After updating to kernel-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.x86_64 (and updating all kmods) VirtualBox guests no longer boot.
I had a Windows guest (from now on refereed as Crapdows) that worked normally. After the update, I could get to the "Start Windows Normally" screen, but then Crapdows refused to boot. At first, I thought it was a crappy M$ bug, but after creating another VM (Doublecrap), and starting from scratch, I was able to get to the "Windows is loading files" screen, and then the guest hangs again.
This problem is generalized to all OS'es I've tried. In Ubuntu, I can get to the language selection screen before the installation freezes. The same applies for Fedora and SUSE guests.
Is it time to get my hammer?

I generally check what updates are being installed. This time sadly I didn't and again this kernel had one missing module. VirtualBox-OSE stopped working. It had been working fine with other upgrades. No it's not a problem with dkms or other stuff. This kernel doesn't have vboxdrv module like other kernels...i verified it...
[Code]...
The 2.6.38.8 version doesn't have vboxdrv module!....hence again I have to roll back to older kernel. So before blindly upgrading....read this message!
