 |
|
Hi there!
After recent kernel update I can't load virtualbox modules. Right now I have 6.6.57-gentoo-dist kernel installed. After updating to 6.6.57 I rebuilt virtualbox-modules package, but I can't load it:
| Code: | modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error |
Virtualbox and virtualbox-modules are both 7.0.20
| Code: | modinfo vboxdrv
filename: /lib/modules/6.6.57-gentoo-dist/misc/vboxdrv.ko
version: 7.0.20 r163906 (0x00330004)
license: GPL
description: Oracle VM VirtualBox Support Driver
author: Oracle and/or its affiliates
srcversion: 9CBC44140E50A5E89770210
depends:
retpoline: Y
name: vboxdrv
vermagic: 6.6.57-gentoo-dist SMP preempt mod_unload
parm: disabled:Disable automatic module loading (int)
parm: force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int) |
Any idea on what's going on/

That error can be caused by something being built for an architecture different to the one it actually ends up running on. Did you rebuild on a host other than the one on which you're trying to run VBox?

Updated to gentoo-kernel-bin-6.6.58r2 and rebuilt virtualbox-modules-7.0.20 - still can't load vboxdrv:
| Code: | # modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error |

Finally got it working.
Module fails to load because gentoo-kernel-bin build environment and my local module build environment are different.
Switching to gentoo-kernel and building both kernel and module locally fixed the problem. Now both kernel and module are compatible.
