 |
|
I've got this VM I'm trying to boot, and whenever I try, I get this: | Code: | | Error starting domain: Failed to open file '/lib/modules/6.12.1-gentoo/modules.alias': No such file or directory |
This isn't so strange to me, as I have a purely monolithic kernel with loadable modules disabled. However, I have no clue what to do about this error message, short of enabling loadable modules, which I'd prefer not to do. Anyone know what's going on? |

What are you trying to start the VM in?
libvirt, qemu and docker all work fine here with a monolithic kernel.*
You can use | Code: | | ebuild /var/db/repos/gentoo/path/to/ebuild.ebuild prepare clean |
to force a re-showing of any "CONFIG_SOMETHING is not set and it should be" messages you may have missed during emerge time.
*hardware passthrough fails though, fyi. |

 you know, I'm actually trying to do PCIe passthrough with this VM. Maybe that's the problem? In any case, I'd like to know why...
