Gentoo Package does not load the module

Hi,

The latest Gentoo Package of VirtualBox 1.4.0 does not load the module 'vboxdrv' correctly, it get the following error (dmesg):

The package I downloaded from your website generates a working module. Still I would like to use only the Gentoo package and not have to install both packages.

Thank you for your Feedback. Zeno

I'm afraid that you will have to take this up with the maintainers of the Gentoo package, since we do not produce it.

Dear Trac

Thank you for your Feedback.

What are the commands to rebuild the "vboxdrv" manually if I compile VirtualBox from Source?

Thanks Zeno

Off topic: What "iki are you guys using! I like it!

[Frank Mehnert]

Export+build the vboxdrv module from the svn with

src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/export_modules ~/vboxdrv.tar.gz
cd ~
tar -xzf vboxdrv.tar.gz
cd vboxdrv
./build_in_tmp install

The last command assumes that the kernel sources of the current kernel can be found in /lib/modules/uname -r/build.

So I could do a direct checkout of the module vboxdrv.tar.gz from svn with above command? This is useful information. Thanks!
