you are using "vmlinuz-huge-2.6.29.6"

btw,

but this doesn't matter, in any case try to update your kernel and then try again, maybe you did something to the current kernel source ..

did you did a full install or a custom install of slackware?

from what i see, there's nothing wrong

Use the generic kernel. Then recompile vbox.

Is it enough to change the link of vmlinuz to generic kernel for using the generic kernel and reboot? or i need do something more ?

# rm /boot/vmlinuz
# rm /boot/System.map
# ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.29.6 /boot/vmlinuz
# ln -s /boot/System.map-generic-2.6.29.6 /boot/System.map
# lilo

You don't even need to change the vmlinuz link. If you want to keep the links as it is just create another entry or edit the existing lilo entry [since you may want to comeback to this kernel.], pointing the kernel to /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.29.6
Won't he need an initrd? :\

@JokerBoy

are you sure about what you taught me ?

coz for what i leaned i think it should be like this to chnage the link ,

# ln -s /boot/vmlinuz-generic-2.6.29.6 /boot/vmlinuz

or i am wrong ?

this i don't know, i only use kernel-huge for the first boot, then i build a custom kernel

yes, my bad. i edited my post

@ ~sHyLoCk~
I think you might be right, i remembered when I tried to installed slackware64 on LVM , i read some info that generic seems need a initrd

and i change the link back, in the /boot dir, ln -s vmlinuz-huge-2.6.29.6 vmlinuz, then i run lilo got a fatal msgs:
# lilo
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Fatal: read /boot/vmlinuz: No such file or directory

seems a serious problem, i guess i can't boot my system before i fix it, how's this come?

wubai

First of all read /boot/README.initrd file to find out how you can build an initrd image.
Next., just add this entry to your lilo.conf, don't modify/delete anything anywhere, keep everything intact.

Then re-run lilo. Also you can add lba32 and compact to your lilo.conf to skip BIOS check at boot.

Also, if you don't want an initrd you have to recompile kernel and build-in the root partition file system in kernel and not as modules.

i modified my post! did you make new symlinks?

Just use the slackbuilds ( http://slackbuilds.org/result/?searc...ualbox&sv=13.0 )
You'll need virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-kernel. Then
$ chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv
$ /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv start

And also add the entry mentioned in post #3 to rc.local. Then you should be set.

Hi, guys!

@ JokerBoy,
i change it back , actually , i delete the huge kernel by mistake,because i created a hard link before (missed the '-s' option), then when i delete the link i deleted the real huge kernel, that's why that fatal error came, i guess !
it's my mistake
I copied a huge kernel from dvd and it's fine now

And i created an initrd, use the generic kernel to test if the vbox works with the generic kernel, it's working well now ! it's real unexpected , fun, and weird , isn't it? working fine with generic kernel but huge kernel. and don't need to recompile the virtualbox,just run "/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup" as root

@~sHyLoCk~ , how did you know it works with generic kernel, and why ?
