Not sure if this bug fell through the cracks, but the same issue on VB 5.0. VB 4.3.28 was the latest Version when I filed the bug, and I can't change it. I believe the errors were exactly the same at the end of the merge window.

please ensure that bcmwl also compiles with kernel 4.2

Replying to palmito:

Sorry but this bugtracker is about VirtualBox, not any Broadcom Linux drivers.

You are right... sorry for the mistake.

palmito, your kernel module sources don't contain the above fix yet (see comment 3).

comment:9 Changed 8 years ago by frank

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

Fix is part of the VBox 5.0.2 Guest Additions.

comment:10 Changed 8 years ago by yug

I have upgraded to VBox 5.0.2 and the guest additions will not build on fedora 23 the installer hangs after removing installed modules and systemd cpu usage goes to 100%. I know it's alpha and there always seems to be a gap before Vbox catches up but it sure would be nice to test.

It is currently a 4.2 kernel.

comment:11 Changed 8 years ago by robatino

I've also seen that behavior (it happened also with 5.0.0), but after waiting until the installer said it was installing the guest additions for the current kernel, and verifying from "dkms status" that they are installed, I just Ctrl-C'd the installer. AFAIK everything is normal after that. Also, installing guest modules for additional kernels using the dkms install command afterwards works fine without the hang. I haven't reported the hang and haven't checked if anyone else has.

comment:12 Changed 8 years ago by palmito

just installed virtual box 5.0.4 and got kernel 4.2. Works perfectly! Hurray! :)

comment:13 Changed 8 years ago by robatino

Should be no problem with the 4.3 kernel, as guest additions still build for the first kernel past the merge window.

comment:14 Changed 8 years ago by robatino

Should be no problem with the 4.4 kernel, as guest additions still build for the first kernel past the merge window.
