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

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.

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. Markus |

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? Markus |

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 Markus |

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 |
No, I did only mean to check if the stock kernel is configured for AMD V

I saw nothing on AMD-V, in itself, in my kernel, the only thing I found, related to virtualization, kvm is about ... many thanks EDIT:I noted that the host OS only reboot when I pressed the "enter" key( see attchament below). When I not pressed the "enter" key to start the guest OS, no problem. Unlike Windows, Linux distributions usually, to start the OS have, at first, to press the "enter"(or let it start automatically). Of course we can configure the "Lilo" or the "Grub" to avoid having to do this, but it was not my case, when configuring the guests ...... The problem was complex, because there were times when I pressed the "enter" key, and the host OS does not reboot, and everything worked fine ... Edited : Today July 15, after a time without using VB, the problem continues, even without hit enter .... |
