Description Nathaniel Graham 2020-08-13 19:00:13 UTC

I just installed Virtualbox in my TW installation. After creating a VM, attempting to start it always fails with the following error message:


Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: SUP_IOCTL_LDR_OPEN failed (VERR_NO_EXEC_MEMORY).
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_NO_EXEC_MEMORY).

Result Code: 
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

I have kernel-5.8.0-1.1 installed, along with the same versions of kernel-devel and kernel-macros. My system has 16 GB of RAM with over 12 GB currently free.

Me too ;). Just updated Tumbleweed to kernel 5.7 to 5.8. Kernel 5.7 and Virtualbox didn't work together. It was possible to start a vm, but I loosed mouse and keyboard so the desktop was not usable. Had to kill vbox over a second pc and ssh-login. Hoped, that will be repaired with the update to kernel 5.8.

Now a get the message, if I want to copy the vm (no, I do not want) or 'OK'. For OK I got this message:


Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VMMR0.r0: SUP_IOCTL_LDR_OPEN failed (VERR_NO_EXEC_MEMORY).
Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_NO_EXEC_MEMORY).

I'm using virtualbox for many years on this maschine; 16 GB RAM and a own HD for the VMs.

Known issue with kernel 5.8
