Description Tiago Batista 2009-01-29 17:43:23 UTC 
As seen in the url, the modules fail to compile against 2.6.29 kernel:

CC [M] /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.o
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c: In function ‘VBoxDrvLinuxCreate’:
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:706: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘euid’
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:719: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘uid’
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c:720: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘gid’ 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update/pull a 2.6.29 kernel
2. build and boot the new kernel
3. try to build virtualbox-modules

Comment 3 Matti Kariluoma 2009-02-18 01:25:38 UTC 
Same situtaion, alls well for me using the patch and ebuild.
Comment 4 Patrick Lauer gentoo-dev 2009-03-29 09:31:17 UTC 
Is this still an issue with 2.1.4 ? As far as I know it has a specific patch for 2.6.29.
Comment 5 Patrick De Pinguin 2009-04-14 19:13:44 UTC 
Will there be any updating of the (x86 stable) ebuild for virtualbox-modules 1.6.6 ? This release also has this issue with kernel 2.6.29.
