https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228535 --- Comment #15 from Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org> --- (In reply to rkoberman from comment #12) virtualbox-ose has been a real pain to deal with for the last few weeks here. At least for me and my team of sysadmins who are doing experiments with FreeBSD RELEASE 11.2. I can report that I have seen the panic-on-boot loop "feature" and it is fun.=20 Well the package for virtualbox-ose is broken on the RELEASE version=20 of 11.2 and so yes it is a problem and will remain a problem until some future date. Near future we hope. One may perform the experiment, as I have, repeatedly, and see a kernel panic repeatedly. One must build the virtualbox-ose-kmod bits from ports and then overwrite=20 the existing pkg which was installed via dependencies for virtualbox-ose. The entirely repeatable process : 1) install RELEASE 11.2=20 2) at first boot you may su - and as root do very very few things : # /usr/sbin/pkg query -e '%a =3D 0' '%o' The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]: y Bootstrapping pkg from pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/quarterl= y, please wait...

Then do the portsnap extract. 3) Full stop right here and we have a fresh RELEASE 11.2 system with not mu= ch on it :=20 # /usr/sbin/pkg query -e '%a =3D 0' '%o' ports-mgmt/pkg #=20 4) install virtualbox-ose BEFORE attempting to build virtualbox-ose-kmod # pkg install virtualbox-ose=20 Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

Sort of. The kernel module version isn't really a perfect match but seems to work thus far. I have attempted= to build all of virtualbox-ose from ports, repeatedly, over and over there are little bugs in the process that stop the build. One gets fixed and another pops u= p. I don't think your average user or sysadmin out there will be able to easily get around this mess. So when is the next big release ? Because I don't see h= ow this can be marked as "fixed". At best there is a hack workaround. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
