MLED - new Virtualbox Kernel Module needed for Kernel 4.4.29
Hello kikinovak,
saw your posts in the DirtyCow Kernel Bug thread and thought i should inform you, that a new Version of the Virtualbox Kernel Module is needed, for the new Slackware 4.4.29 Kernel. Without it your Virtualbox Packages do not work. I looked up the repository and did not find a newer Version, so maybe its a good Info for your MLED followers and You. Btw. do you hang out on IRC or Jabber somewhere? Thx for the hard work! You´re doing very good. Greets codix |
You can install VirtualBox yourself and, in the process of doing so, it will build a module for whatever kernel is installed.
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads The "all distributions" version has always worked for me. |
Yeah i know, it was more an Info, that in MLED is something broken at the moment.
I myself could fix the problem, but maybe not every MLED User ;) |

Yeah, I know. Unfortunately I can't devote much time for MLED now, since I'm having some financial problems and I have to take up every paying job I can find. I'll keep you posted. Cheers, Niki |
Try this (it works for me). Make sure all vbox modules are stopped (I usually do it immediately after a reboot after installing the new Slackware kernel) and recompile the VirtualBox kernel. As root:
Code:
cd /etc/rc.d |

Not implemented! Please use the virtualbox-kernel.SlackBuild available at SlackBuilds.org instead. I build a new package, using MLED´s original Slackbuild. But thx for all the help, i solve the thread. |
