Hi. I've downloaded the "All distributions i386" VirtualBox version. On a website I've read this steps to follow:
1-Run the installer
2-Run /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup to build the necessary kernel modules (it?s necessary to have the current kernel?s source on /usr/src/linux)
3-Add /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv and /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv to /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start on system boot
4-Add your user to the vboxusers group on /etc/group
I'm stuck at the secound step.
I do:
Code:
/etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
and it gives me this output:
Code:
Root [~] --> /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module ...failed!
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
so I go to see the log file:
Code:
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/2.4.33.3/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.4 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.4 modules
make -C /tmp/vbox.4 CFLAGS="-D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-2.4.33.3/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i486 -fno-unit-at-a-time -DMODULE" MAKING_MODULES=1 modules
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_mod_/tmp/vbox.4] Error 2
make: *** [vboxdrv] Error 2
??
If I try to launch VirtualBox, it says:
Code:
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (2.4.33.3) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
then the program starts, but of course it doesn't work.
How can I complete the installation of this Virtual Machine? I have the kernel sources, as requested, at "/usr/src/linux/".
Useful info:
Code:
Root [~] --> cat /etc/slackware-version
