Package: virtualbox-ose-dkms Version: 3.2.8-dfsg-2 Severity: important
I think (based on the virtualbox forums) that this bug belongs to the debian packager of the linux source, but I'm not sure where to report it, so I'm hoping you can forward it if appropriate. I upgraded my kernel today: linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 2.6.32-23 -> 2.6.32-25 And rebooted and the dkms stuff failed to rebuild, citing: vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently... vboxdrv: Successfully done. vboxdrv: Found 2 processor cores. supdrvGipCreate: failed to allocate the GIP page. rc=-8 I ran m-a a-i virtualbox-ose-source and that also failed, with only the same error as above. This appears to be the same issue, though with a different kernel version: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7535 The VB guy says it is the Debian kernel packager's fault, that the -5 should really have been changed to a -6. http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg830845.html Similar to this, although I don't get the same error as this guy did: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=596945 deleting and purging the virtualbox-ose-modules package did not help. Then I uninstalled everything virtualbox-* except for virtualbox-ose, and everything rebuilt properly. I suspect that simply reinstalling the virtualbox-ose-dkms would have fixed the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages virtualbox-ose-dkms depends on: ii dkms 2.1.1.2-5 Dynamic Kernel Module Support Fram virtualbox-ose-dkms recommends no packages. virtualbox-ose-dkms suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
