/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

[hdanne]

After Updating to VirtualBox 5.0.16 and after updating the VboxGuestAddition I get this error messages when I try to mount the shared folder:

/sbin/mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: No such device

With the older Version of Virtualbox, the command mount -t vboxsf transfer /media/share worked fine.

Host: Windows 7 Guest: Suse Linux 13.2

linux-7hzn:/home/hermann # modprobe -a vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxsf': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

I tried: cd /opt/VBoxGuestAdditions-*/init sudo ./vboxadd setup which does not solve the problem.

linux-7hzn:/home/hermann # dmesg | grep vbox [ 3.709057] [drm] Initialized vboxvideo 1.0.0 20090303 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 [ 3.945676] vboxguest: misc device minor 59, IRQ 9, I/O port d020, MMIO at 00000000f0400000 (size 0x400000) [ 3.947394] vboxguest: Successfully loaded version 4.3.36_SUSE (interface 0x00010004) [ 52.701761] vboxsf: Unknown symbol VBoxGuest_RTLogRelGetDefaultInstanceEx (err 0) [ 1447.240633] vboxsf: Unknown symbol VBoxGuest_RTLogRelGetDefaultInstanceEx (err 0)

Please tell me, what I can do to get my shared folder mounted.

Thanks Hermann

You installed the Guest Additions but the kernel initrd needs to be updated as well. This is not done by the Guest Additions installer because we don't know a general procedure how to do this on regular Linux distributions. So you have to update the initrd yourself, then reboot the guest.

Thanks for your answer. I will try to update initrd.

For your information:some more error messages:

linux-7hzn:/home/hermann # yast2 libGL error: pci id for fd 11: 80ee:beef, driver (null) libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo Run command: /sbin/yast2 online_update & libGL error: pci id for fd 25: 80ee:beef, driver (null) libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo
