SalixOS 13.1beta1 with slapt-get --upgrade and kernel-source package installed.
Manually doing "modprobe -v vboxguest" gives "Invalid module format".

Yeah...I made my own patches for this to compile and run, but then I had some graphical glitches (so my patches were not ok it seems). At last, I compile latest VirtualBox, and this is working good. I need to contact the main packager of VirtualBox...

Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that host is VirtualBox PUEL 3.1.8 RPM package (for Fedora 12 running on F13) from virtualbox.org ...

Are you sure you have the same version of all kernel packages installed? The kernel packages have been upgraded to 2.6.33.4 shortly after the release of 13.1beta1.

uname -r --> 2.6.33.3-smp
ls -d /usr/src/linux-* --> 2.6.33.4
"slapt-get --upgrade" does not find any new packages.
Outch!

You need to upgrade your kernel packages. Search the wiki on how to do that.

Thank you very much.
After doing the updates with "slapt-get -i <pkg>" and a reboot, mouse and keyboard does not work any more in vbox....
EDIT: ACPI seems also to be dead

All these packages have to be from the same version: kernel-headers kernel-huge-smp kernel-modules-smp & kernel-source.
Could it be that you forgot to upgrade kernel-modules-smp?

How can I reactivate keyboard (+mouse) in the (with kernel) updated vbox?

No. I did "slapt-get -i
pkgs" where
pkgs was the line got from EXCLUDED output of "slapt-get --upgrade" without aaa_base. By the way: The howto in wiki is confusing, it is easier to use slapt-get --upgrade to see all EXCLUDED packages and do individual manual upgrade for those.
I did it again and same result, no mouse and no keyboard input possible any more.
It seems that the devs are currently working on patches for kernel 2.6.33.x ...

what I always do to upgrade packages is
Code: Select all
slapt-get --upgrade --ignore-excludes
and always remember to run lilo after a kernel upgrade
