Install "VirtualBox-3.2.12-68 302" in slackware64-current ( kernel 2.6.38.7 )

afreitascs · 06-21-2011, 09:11 PM

Is there any way to install "VirtualBox-3.2.12-68302" in the "slackware64-current" (Kernel 2.6.38.7) ?

I have problems with the 4.0.x version of VB!

The version "VirtualBox-3.2.12-68302" works fine with my hardware!
I tested using "VB 3.2.12" and Slackware64-13.37 (kernel 2.6.37.6).

I get the warning when I try to install a guest OS in "VB 3.2.12" running slackware64-current ...

Did you notice that there are versions for 64bit and for 32bit systems available? Did you try the 64bit-version with Slackware64-current?

Assuming you are running the 64-bit version of VB, execute the following as root and tell us what shows up:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup

What does /var/log/vbox-install.log show? Also, what problems do you have with the latest VB 4.x series? It works for me on slackware64-current and kernel 2.6.38.7.

With "vB4" I have a problem I suppose is only occurring with me.

Hello afreitascs,

the errors refer to your kernel, are you using the stock Slackware64 kernel of current or did you build it by yourself?

I'm running the recent Vbox 4.08 on Slackware64-current without any problems.

I have problem with "VB 4.0.x" and still not have a solution. Please see the link below.

Well, I understood what you've written, I followed your other thread, but I think I can't really help you.

It seems that one of both doesn't work properly, your Slackware-installation or the Vbox-installer.

What happens if you download the most recent version of Vbox? do you get the same errormessages?

VB versions 4.0.x, install fine on my Slackware64-current, and work, but
I have to disable AMD-V.

I just wanted to know why my host pc resets when I enable AMD-V.

In WindowsXP guest does not need to disable AMD-V (everything works fine)!

many thanks

Are you sure that your processor supports AMD-V? What is the output of:

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

You'll probably have to configure your kernel to support this feature. I'm not sure since I have my own kernel .config file and cannot seem to find out on my system if this feature is enabled with the stock kernel.

Within the kernelsources I find

Code:

markus@samsung:/tmp/linux-3.0-rc1/Documentation$ grep -Ri svm * | grep -i amd    
kernel-parameters.txt:  kvm-amd.nested= [KVM,AMD] Allow nested virtualization in KVM/SVM

Maybe this has something to do with AMD-V, I'm not sure.

If I understand ...

my processor does not support "Nested Paging", but that should not be a problem ...
It supports only AMD-V ...

This problem only happens with linux guest OS. In Windows guest NO problem.

I installed Fedora 15 host on another hdd to test the behavior of VB 4, using slackware 12.0 guest with AMD-V enabled.

many thanks
