Description Marek Sapota 2009-12-28 10:36:11 UTC
app-emulation/virtualbox-ose-3.1.0 fails to start virtual machines:

RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.

-------------------------------------------

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Debian.
Virtual machine 'Debian' has terminated unexpectedly during startup.

Check that app-emulation/virtualbox-modules is installed with version -3.1.0

Then try to unload all three modules and then load them:
# for module in vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv; do modprobe -rv $module; done
# for module in vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxdrv; do modprobe -v $module; done

(And for completeness, check your /etc/conf.d/modules file, as you were asked by emerge at the end of app-emulation/virtualbox-modules emerge).

Yes they are.

Doesn't help. Also I restarted my system before trying VritualBox so new modules where loaded.

Everything ok there, older VirtualBox I had used to work (3.0.8) I think.

Ok.

Is the /usr/src/linux symlink consistent with your running kernel ?
Comment 4 Marek Sapota 2009-12-28 11:52:30 UTC
Yes, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5
Comment 5 Gef 2009-12-28 12:03:14 UTC
Please post the ouput of:
# modinfo vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt
Comment 6 Marek Sapota 2009-12-28 12:16:38 UTC
Ok, I'm sorry - just spotted in modinfo that it uses modules for r1 kernel, not r5. I'm not sure why I have r1 kernel in use and sources for r5 but it explains the errors. I haven't spotted the difference before. Sorry again, it was my mistake.

You're welcome!
