Details

Description:

I believe this package needs to be rebuilt against the 3.14.17 LTS kernel, as the vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp modules are not loading.

* package version(s)

$ pacman -Q | grep lts
linux-lts 3.14.17-1
linux-lts-headers 3.14.17-1
virtualbox-host-modules-lts 4.3.14-1

* config and/or log files etc.

$ uname -a
Linux xps 3.14.17-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Aug 14 05:34:17 UTC 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[ 6508.754630] vboxnetadp: disagrees about version of symbol consume_skb
[ 6508.754635] vboxnetadp: Unknown symbol consume_skb (err -22)

[ 6521.023930] vboxnetflt: disagrees about version of symbol skb_copy_bits
[ 6521.023935] vboxnetflt: Unknown symbol skb_copy_bits (err -22)

* Steps to reproduce:

$ sudo modprobe vboxnetflt
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetflt': Invalid argument
$ sudo modprobe vboxnetadp
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetadp': Invalid argument
This task depends upon

Could you try with virtualbox-host-dkms instead of this package?
Comment by Remi Gacogne (rgacogne) - Tuesday, 19 August 2014, 09:35 GMT
Yes, I should have mentioned that I am able to load the two vboxnet* modules after rebuilding them with "sudo dkms install vboxhost/4.3.14", sorry.

Seems to be linked to a wild rebuild of linux-lts.
Comment by AMM (amish) - Thursday, 21 August 2014, 07:14 GMT
Ok I have this problem too.

I have linux as well as linux-lts installed.

virtualbox-host-modules - this works without any problem
virtualbox-host-modules-lts - gives above error as in bug report

I uninstalled above 2 packages and installed virtualbox-host-dkms package.

Then did: (for both linux and linux-lts kernels)
dkms install vboxhost/4.3.14

Now modules work fine.

I am adding vote because I prefer pre-compiled modules package instead of dkms one.

I have the same problem too. virtualbox-host-modules-lts 4.3.14-1 does not work and virtualbox-host-dkms 4.3.14-3 works. but virtualbox-guest-modules-lts 4.3.14-1 works too. That is odd.

A new version of virtualbox was released (from 4.3.14-3 to 4.3.14-4) but this bug is still not fixed.

i.e. virtualbox-host-modules-lts is still not updated. (version is still 4.3.14-1)

So please update.

Also have this problem on lts kernel with virtualbox-host-modules-lts, but works when doing what AMM did. Thanks AMM!
