Description Martin Ereth 2008-04-23 18:48:33 UTC

The virtualbox-module vboxdrv.ko won't modprobe:
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r1-2/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

And dmesg: 
vboxdrv: Unknown symbol change_page_attr

At compilation-time of the module:
WARNING: //lib/modules/2.6.25-gentoo-r1-2/misc/vboxdrv.ko needs unknown symbol change_page_attr

Used versions:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r1
app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.6

The problem is, that virtualbox won't work without this module.

I found a patch for the module here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/14bcc9c1a4afe28b

Reproducible: Always
