Started testing right after you posted.

Everything seems to work well here.

sramov · 05-05-2017, 03:15 PM

Finally!

Now I can use Pat's latest LTS vetted .config and piggyback it on -stable

Code:

% uname -a

So far, so good....

Question, does the #1 indicate it is the generic kernel and the #2 (see post number 3, above) the huge kernel?

You might need to patch NVIDIA legacy 340 run file; test with 340.102 file and works

Its running good here

is the version number according to man uname

[EDIT]
misread the question!
1 = generic
2 = huge

montagdude · 05-05-2017, 08:47 PM

And GCC 7 too. That's a big jump. I wonder why 6 was skipped over (only in testing)?

On my laptop with new kernel (32 bit) I can't compile virtualbox module and I have in /var/log/syslog this errors:

Even with the binary from Oracle VirtualBox won't work either.

ppencho · 05-06-2017, 03:22 PM

VirtualBox-5.1.14-112924-Linux_amd64.run and kernel 4.9.26 work fine together.

I was planning to upgrade to the latest VB 5.1.22 but after reading your posts I am not sure if it will work.

dugan · 05-06-2017, 03:53 PM

Running it in VirtualBox 5.1.2.2 doesn't work for me. I get "unknown symbol" errors when I try to modprobe vboxguest.

I downloaded the .run vbox from Oracle this morning. It is working okay for me.

slackb0t · 05-06-2017, 04:31 PM

I just installed all new updates.. including the new kernel. No issues so far. All went smooth.
