2.6.30.5 Virtualization

[prowl3r]

Has anyone managed to install either VMware Server and/or Virtualbox with this new kernel ?

Thanks

seems that we have the same issue.

After the kernel upgrade my virtualbox stopped working. I m having some issues cause i do not have the latest kernel headers as well....still looking into it for a solution

I just managed to get it working with the help of this thread
hxxp://forums.remote-exploit.org/backtrack-4-pre-final/26319-how-build-kernel-headers-new-kernel.html

To sum it up i did:

#apt-get install linux-source-2.6.30.5
Go to /usr/scr/ dir and uncompress the new source file.
Then inside the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5 dir copy a working config
#cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config
Create the new headers
#make-kpkg kernel_headers
Install the deb file (/usr/src/)
#dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.30.5_2.6.30.5-10.00.Custom_i386.deb
Delete the existing symlink and create a new one
#ln -s linux-source-2.6.30.5/ linux
Vbox will still fail cause of the missing Module.symvers file in the new kernel source dir. Then inside the /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.30.5 type make to compile the kernel. Wait approx an hour .........
#/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Bingo!

=Z£Y$=,

Thanx so much. Been struggling with this, for a good 2 days.

I run BackTrack 4 (Native) on 2 machines, both of which must host at least one VM, and this has caused my hair to prematurely gray...

apt-get update
apt-get install -d linux-image
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/

apt-get dist-upgrade
