There are two issues with virtualbox-modules when compiling on kernel 2.6.29: 1) Change in kernel internal data structure. This patch fixes it: diff -ruN a/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c b/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c --- a/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c 2008-08-26 11:47:58.000000000 +0200 +++ b/vboxdrv/linux/SUPDrv-linux.c 2009-04-24 11:08:07.000000000 +0200 @@ -769,8 +769,8 @@ rc = supdrvCreateSession(&g_DevExt, (PSUPDRVSESSION *)&pSession); if (!rc) { - pSession->Uid = current->euid; - pSession->Gid = current->egid; + pSession->Uid = current->cred->euid; + pSession->Gid = current->cred->egid; pSession->Process = RTProcSelf(); pSession->R0Process = RTR0ProcHandleSelf(); } 2) Missing patch in the ebuild: When compiling for 2.6.27, a patch is applied in the ebuild. This patch also has to be applied for 2.6.29: src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" if kernel_is 2 6 27 ; then epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}_2.6.27.patch fi } I assume this also applies for kernel 2.6.28, but I have skipped this kernel, so I don't actually know. With these two corrections, I could build the package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

1.6 is oooooold. 2.1.4 will be stable soon enough, so we'll just wait (see bug 267267 ) and then close this one, eh? :)
Well, as far as I can see, despite being old it is still the latest stable version. But now the case is documented, in case someone else finds this problem. Maybe somebody could post the correct fix for the ebuild here. I just modified the condition in the if clause to if kernel_is 2 6 29 ; then since I don't know the correct solution. (I assume there are people here who need as much as a couple of seconds for that. I don't belong to this group :-) The patch itself applies fine, so only the condition has to be modified. For all those less experienced gentoo users: You have to do "ebuild virtualbox-modules-1.6.6-r1.ebuild digest" after modifying the ebuid file. If there will be a newer stable version soon, I'm fine with sitting it out.

After updating to gentoo-source 2.6.29r5 I am also getting the error messages about missing euid and egid when building app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.6.6-r1. Please integrate this patch!

this also applies to the 2.6.30 kernel
I am one of those inexperienced users (at least concerning patching ebuilds) and did not succeed in patching the build of virtualbox-modules-1.6.6-r1 in order to run on gentoo 2.6.29. Can anyone point me to proper directions for patching the ebuild? Or better yet, incorporate the patches in gentoo and issue an intermediate patch virtualbox-modules-1.6.6-r2!

(In reply to comment #1) > 1.6 is oooooold. 2.1.4 will be stable soon enough, so we'll just wait (see bug > 267267 ) and then close this one, eh? :) Not to be impatient, but the latest stable virtualbox-modules + the latest stable kernel has been busted for four mounths now. :-) Having a app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-1.6.6-r2 that could handle all kernel versions >= 2.6.29 in the tree would be a tremendous help until one of the newer versions does eventually become stable. Maybe changing if kernel_is 2 6 29 to if kernel_is ge 2 6 29 in the attached ebuild would do the trick? Thanks for your help!
The patch also works for me. Also I'd say integrate with portage asap, it's just a super super harmless patch. After several months vbox is still broken..

any chance to have these patches in portage?
3.0 stable everywhere.
