VirtualBox: virtualbox packages only available for -debug kernel
Last modified: 2008-04-20 08:59:56 UTC
I installed xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox on my virtual Factory install. It pulled in the -debug kernel and the vbox modules are only available for the debug kernel. So I restart the guest and try to boot on the debug kernel and receive the following message in VirtualBox; This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: 0:6 Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. The host is openSUSE 10.3, Fully patched with virtualbox-1.5.2-10.2 The modules should be available for all kernels, not only the debug one.
VirtualBox itself is only available for the -debug kernel as well.
so for which kernel do you want it to be available? there is only the debug, default and the pae kernel and each of them have a kmp: virtualbox-ose-kmp-debug.rpm virtualbox-ose-kmp-default.rpm virtualbox-ose-kmp-pae.rpm the xen kernels kmp's are currently disabled from building.
When I installed xorg-x11-driver-virtualbox it pulled in the debug packages. I don't know why. Perhaps there's an issue with that package then?
virtualbox-ose is dependent on virtualbox-ose-kmp. If multiple versions are available (debug, default, pae), you should be asked to select one. What could happen was, that the virtualbox-ose-kmp-debug was the only available at that moment (and it was installed without asking). Is it so, that virtualbox-ose-kmp-default is still not available? Thanks
I can't find any kmp packages for virtualbox anymore. Only virtualbox-ose-guest-tools
How is this bug fixed? Are we not going to provide VirtualBox anymore?
