VirtualBox fails

VirtualBox failed for the first time after a good run about two weeks ago. My MIB enabled ROSA is:

Code: Select all

user $ cat /etc/issue
ROSA Desktop Fresh R1 release 2012.1 for x86_64
Kernel 3.11.8-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa on a 4-processor x86_64 / \l
MIB's VirtualBox version:

Code: Select all

user $ rpm -qa |grep -i virtualbox |sort
dkms-virtualbox-4.2.18-69-mib2012.1.noarch
virtualbox-4.2.18-69-mib2012.1.x86_64
virtualbox-doc-4.2.18-2-rosa2012.1.noarch
virtualbox-guest-additions-4.2.18-69-mib2012.1.x86_64
The error message:

Code: Select all

user $ VirtualBox 
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.11.8-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualbox start

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
I tried some diagnostics to no avail:

Code: Select all

root # lsmod |grep vbox
root # /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualbox status
virtualbox kernel module è not loaded
root # /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualbox start
Starting virtualbox (via systemctl):                                                                                                                  [   OK   ]
root # /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualbox status
virtualbox kernel module è not loaded
root # lsmod |grep vbox
root #


Kernels tried: 3.10.17 3.10.19 and 3.11.8, all -nrjQL-desktop-69rosa flavored.

UPDATE: tried new kernel and virtualbox unsuccessfully -- see below.

Following up, it does work with kernel-nrj-desktop-3.10.9-70rosa, the last working one before I installed the non-working kernel-nrj-desktop-3.10.17-1rosa.

But then my webcam doesn't with this kernel.

Update: problem remains with new kernel and virtualbox:

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/issue
ROSA Desktop Fresh R2 release 2012.1 for x86_64
Kernel 3.11.10-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa on a 4-processor x86_64 / \l
$ rpm -qa |grep virtualbox
virtualbox-doc-4.2.18-2-rosa2012.1.noarch
dkms-virtualbox-4.3.4-69-mib2012.1.noarch
virtualbox-4.3.4-69-mib2012.1.x86_64
The new error message is:

Code: Select all

$ VirtualBox                        
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.11.10-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa) or it failed to

It's still not working, though the error message has changed:

Code: Select all

$ VirtualBox 
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.11.10-nrjQL-desktop-69rosa) or it failed to

           sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/virtualbox start

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Something is really wrong somewhere...

Ok, we got some progress, it works now with the latest nrj kernel but not the latest nrjQL one:

Code: Select all

$ uname -a && rpm -q virtualbox
Linux mybox.mynet 3.12.7-nrj-desktop-1rosa #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jan 14 02:49:59 MSK 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
virtualbox-4.3.6-69-mib2012.1.x86_64
Still miss that CFQ scheduler desktop speed in the nrjQL kernel!
