It lies. It's VB's inimitable way of saying "you have the wrong module version for this kernel". It should be sufficient to rebuild the virtualbox-ose-kmod port. Don't install the package, because it doesn't know what kernel you have. I also rebuilt virtualbox-ose, but that's quite a pain and I don't think it's necessary. See http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary-jun2024.php?subtitle=3DStill%20more%20Virtu= alBox%20fun&article=3DD-20240630-002403#D-20240630-002403 for more details. When you're done, 'kldload vboxnetadp' should be enough. That will load the other modules. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer. See complete headers for address and phone numbers.
