VirtualBox Broken on R2
Ive seen this problem on older posts for other version of ubuntu, i think its because the kernel isnt compatible with Vbox yet.
my pc is totally broken(besides LINUX! which ubuntu ran for 3 days perfectly fine, windows CANT) , im tired of windows, im trying to just run my windows 7 in a virtualmachine inside BT, because it constantly bluescreens when normally installed...
Linux bt 3.2.6 #1 SMP Fri Feb 17 10:34:20 EST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
okay, sure lets try thatCode:root@bt:~# virtualbox WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (3.2.6) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Please use 'dmesg' to find out why
dmesg output is here, its too big to host on this site so i just made a quick link
Andis what i see from dmesgCode:[ 660.049471] vboxdrv: version magic '2.6.39.4 SMP mod_unload ' should be '3.2.6 SMP mod_unload ' [ 772.084842] vboxdrv: version magic '2.6.39.4 SMP mod_unload ' should be '3.2.6 SMP mod_unload '
im not sure what to do , i installed the DKMS and the KVM (because several people said it fixed their problem, did nothing here)
any fix would be appreciated
edit: i was previously using a bt5 R1 upgraded to R2, i just burned the dvd for R2 and tried to install vbox from there:

Re: VirtualBox Broken on R2
Here is the solution =)
Cheers!Code:apt-get --no-install-recommends install libqt4-opengl libqt4-opengl-dev dkms prepare-kernel-sources cd /usr/src/linux cp -rf include/generated/* include/linux/ wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.1.8/virtualbox-4.1_4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~lucid_amd64.deb dpkg -i virtualbox-4.1_4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~lucid_amd64.deb rm virtualbox-4.1_4.1.8-75467~Ubuntu~lucid_amd64.deb

Re: VirtualBox Broken on R2
It's not so much that the kernel isn't compatible, but there's a broken link in the headers that the guest additions need to compile. I tracked this one down earlier tonight after upgrading to the 3.2.6 kernel broke the additions.
The compiling error alluded to includes / asm (from the makefile error log after trying to create the guest additions kernel modules).
I checked the headers and found a broken symlink for asm in usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include . I created a symlink with "ln -s asm-generic asm" but that didn't work, as the next error demanded an architecture-specific header. So I just kludged an ugly symlink instead with
which allowed the modules to compile. This will probably break for the next kernel upgrade if the link isn't fixed for that one. Also make sure you set the architecture directory for your system (mips, amd64, ppc, etc.)Code:cd /usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.6/include rm asm ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-3.2.6/arch/x86/include/asm asm
Anyway, it's nice to have full control over the BT5 VM again, clipboard, and shared folders.

Re: VirtualBox Broken on R2
I am running 4.1.8 pre R2 upgrade and did not have any issues. Gnome 64 bit version, I suspect snafu is correct and the upgrade to a newer version should help you out.

Re: VirtualBox Broken on R2
thank you so much! after everything i did wasnt working i was about to post but i ran
and it works now! only problem is win7 doesnt like BT5 hardwareCode:sudo dpkg --configure -a
"not certified usable mircosoft compatible hardware" or something
XP it is!
but thank you thank you thank you

I followed your instructions, but when I tried to add a existing virtual machine this error apears:

Re: VirtualBox Broken on R2
still not able to compile DKMS modules using all the above suggestions.
is there a guide to compiling DKMS modules or the kernel for that matter for Backtrack 5R2?

how to get this all working, i tried all the suggestions in this thread...#ifdef CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC
