* virtualbox-ose in debian lenny
Posted on March 24th, 2009 by Alex. Filed under Linux.
With the new kernel 2.6.29 which just came out, the kernel module of Virtualbox (OSE, version 1.6.6-dfsg-3) that is shipped with the Lenny distribution of Debian, does not compile anymore. Apply this patch (right click, “Save As”) with the command
patch -p1 < /usr/src/vbox-ose-1.6.6-dfsg-3_kernel2.6.29.patch
as root (assuming the patch is stored in /usr/src/ and you are currently in /usr/src/modules/virtualbox-ose/) and recompile the module (with m-a or similar).
