Opened 9 years ago Last modified 8 years ago FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.24.3-34.fc8/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid module format Reported by: klop Owned by: Priority: critical Component: other Version: VirtualBox 1.5.6 Keywords: Cc: Guest type: other Host type: other Description On my Fedora 8 I have new updated kernel 2.6.24.3-34.fc8, and I'm not able to load compiled vboxdrv module. Compilation of module is successful. I think it is because module of virtualbox is only for older kernels(2.6.23.14-107.fc8, 2.6.23.15-137.fc8). If I use /sbin/modprobe vboxdrv I will get this error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv /lib/modules/2.6.24.3-34.fc8/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=48129 module format Attachments dmesg (28.3 KB) - added by klop 9 years ago. vbox-install.log (18.2 KB) - added by klop 9 years ago.

Please could you https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1359 attach here the resulting vbox-install.log file?

In dmesg I get: vboxdrv: version magic '2.6.23.12-52.fc7 SMP mod_unload 686 4KSTACKS ' should be '2.6.23.12-52.fc7 SMP mod_unload 586 4KSTACKS ' The default kernel config has: CONFIG_SMP=yes So this might be the issue, the kernel should be compile with SMP on a single CPU machine. I will try a non-SMP kernel and let you know comment:5 in reply to: ↑ 4 Changed 8 years ago by michael Status changed from new to closed Resolution set to invalid Replying to athomasset: In dmesg I get: vboxdrv: ve

First of all, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot. I upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal, which was the first install. Also, Linux version is 2.6.38-11-generic and it seems it was compiled with gcc 4.5.2. (I am just trying to provide as much information as possible here ) When I first tried installing virtualbox today, it failed because it could not find the kernel headers. It was a bit of a hassle to install them, because I had to grab them from a lucid package. Trying to install vbox again, these are parts of the install log that might be of interest: [...] virtualbox (4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1) wird eingerichtet ... * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules * No suitable module for running kernel found [fail] [...] DKMS: install Completed. * Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel modules * modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why [fail] I did as I was told and ran "dmesg | grep vboxdrv". This is the output: [ 22.869308] vboxdrv: Found 4 processor cores. [ 22.869561] vboxdrv: fAsync=0 offMin=0x498 offMax=0x14b8 [ 22.869626] vboxdrv: TSC mode is 'synchronous', kernel timer mode is 'normal'. [ 22.869628] vboxdrv: Successfully loaded version 4.1.1
