This happened after kernel update from kernel26-2.6.23.1-7-i686.pkg.tar.gz to kernel26-2.6.23.1-8-i686.pkg.tar.gz

In a laptop with ndiswrapper loading at boot time, the computer hangs when loading modules and throws this error to the stderr
In a desktop pc this message is thrown to dmesg when trying to load vboxdrv

Steps to reproduce:
# modprobe vboxdrv
This task depends upon

which version of ndiswrapper you have installed?
it needs to be in sync with the kernel because of the new timer_stats option
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Friday, 16 November 2007, 06:38 GMT
you need at least 1.49-2 package to load it.

ah just saw you use virtualbox, if this comes with modules it needs to be recompiled against the -8 kernel to function correctly

What version of virtualbox are you using?
Comment by Roman Kyrylych (Romashka) - Friday, 16 November 2007, 10:51 GMT
Ah, it's related to CONFIG_TIMER_STATS, I'll recompile it today
