I updated to the lates kernels today and have found that VirtualBox is broken with the latest kernels in that the modules won't compile. When trying to start VirtualBox I get a message saying to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup and when I do I get $ /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup WARNING: "include /lib/module-init-tools/modprobe.compat" is deprecated, please use /etc/modprobe.d WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/.

I see that: echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ what is the output of rpm -qa | grep kernel ? I add the maintainer of the kernel in CC

Do you have the kernel-*-devel matching your kernel installed ?
Devel packages seem to be installed.. rpm -qa | grep kernel kernel-desktop-latest-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2 kernel-linus-devel-latest-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2 kernel-linus-3.1.0-0.rc8.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-3.1.0-0.rc9.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.0-0.rc9.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 lib64kplatokernel8-2.4-0.beta2.2.mga2 kernel-desktop-3.0.4-1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-latest-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2 kernel-firmware-20110703-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-3.0.6-1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-devel-3.0.4-1.mga2-1-1.mga2 lib64kplatokernel7-2.2.2-1mdv2010.1 kernel-linus-devel-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-devel-3.1.0-0.rc9.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-3.1.0-0.rc9.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-devel-3.0.4-1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-linus-devel-3.1.0-0.rc8.1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-devel-latest-3.1.0-0.rc10.1.mga2 kernel-firmware-extra-20110817-2.mga2.nonfree kernel-linus-3.0.4-1.mga2-1-1.mga2 kernel-desktop-devel-3.0.6-1.mga2-1-1.mga2
It seems the devel packages are missing some headers. When I try and install, even with the latest release kernel, I get a failure message from both dkms and non-dkms installs looking for a .h file /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/4.1.0/build/vboxpci/linux/VBoxPci-linux.c:38:27: fatal error: asm/amd_iommu.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. when I try and locate this file I get $ locate amd_iommu.h /usr/src/kernel-linus-devel-3.0.4-1.mga2/arch/x86/include/asm/amd_iommu.h /usr/src/linux-3.0.4-desktop-1.mga2/arch/x86/include/asm/amd_iommu.h /usr/src/linux-3.0.6-desktop-1.mga2/arch/x86/include/asm/amd_iommu.h Which are the last kernels on the system that successfully compiled the driver. Peter.
You are running an old version of virtualbox. you should be using 4.1.4 available in the repos. That one works with kernel 3.1 series.
Thankyou.. that has indeed solved the issue. Peter.
