I installed the kernel source according to the guide (FAQ) some time ago.

I moved to 14.2 by upgrading from 14.0 or maybe even 13.x according to the recommendations in the user documentation.
By that I have always got the kernel packages updated and installed.

I have no clue whats wrong on your machine...

If you are still facing this issue, try following the steps from this post viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7236 using a fresh install:

Code: Select all

 spi -u
 spi -U
 spi -i kernel-source
 slapt-get -i kernel-firmware kernel-headers kernel-huge kernel-modules
 lilo -v
 reboot
 /run/media/.../VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
You can confirm the kernel package names used in the slapt-get above with either of these commands:

Code: Select all

 ls -l /var/log/packages/kernel*
 spi -U
