After kernel upgrade from 2.6.25-r4 to 2.6.26 I'm not able to compile virtualbox-modules. This is the result: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/work/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.c: In function ‘RTMemContAlloc’: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/work/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.c:253: error: implicit declaration of function ‘change_page_attr’ make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/work/vboxdrv/r0drv/linux/alloc-r0drv-linux.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/work/vboxdrv] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.26-gentoo' make: *** [vboxdrv] Error 2 * * ERROR: app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 3402: Called linux-mod_src_compile * environment, line 2560: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\" CC=\"$(get-KERNEL_CC)\" LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}"; * The die message: * Unable to emake HOSTCC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc LDFLAGS= KERN_DIR=/usr/src/linux KERNOUT=/lib/modules/2.6.26-gentoo/build all * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.5.4/temp/environment'. * Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge virtualbox-modules Actual Results: Nothing happens, I obtain every time the same error.

Maybe this can help: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1263 It seems to be the answer, of course. I've to try that...
Created attachment 161468 [details, diff] virtualbox-modules-1.5.4 patch for kernel 2.6.26 This is the suggested patch on virtualbox related site. It seems to work fine.
Above suggested patch work fine and solve the problem. Switch to the newer version also seems to be a solution. I think the bug is fixed. Do you think so? ;-)

Do you think so? ;-) > Hi, the problem is the same described in bug #218198, a workaround is possible but unsafe due the several api changes in kernels >=2.6.25. Are you using VirtualBox-1.5.4 for some specific reason? my suggestion is to try/use the last version available (1.6.2)

That's all. ;-) Using proposed patch all works fine, but of course it is only a workaround and (maybe) unsafe solution. Anymore, actually it seems to be the better one.
