X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2012 00:22:06 -0000 I am having trouble with virtualbox-ose-additions. This is 9.1-RC1 on amd64 in a VirtualBox VM. It builds from the port (DISTVERSION= 4.1.20), but on reboot, the kernel module refuses to load,, complaining of a version mismatch with the kernel. When I install the binary version (4.1.18) using 'pkg_add -r' it is fine. This induces me to suspect that I have the wrong version of the kernel sources installed. I installed the source tree with csup. My standard- supfile (copied from examples with only the default host changed) says 'tag=RELENG_9'. I must be doing something wrong, but what? Please forgive me if this is a silly question; I am fairly new to FreeBSD, being a refugee from Linux.
