There is no need to rebuild anything except emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod. The system and kernel are fine. You just need to build the kmod against the 13.2 kernel sources. Since you have the sources on the system, all that was required was to reinstall the virtualbox-ose-kmod port. no new kernel is required. The port will install the kernel modules into /boot/modules and they are ready to load either with a reboot or using kldload. --=20 Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683 --0000000000008da3c905fb1b657a Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div dir=3D"ltr"><div class=3D"gmail_default" style=3D"fon= t-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">On Sun, May 7, 2023 at 2:43=E2= =80=AFAM Steven Friedrich <<a href=3D"mailto:freebsdlouisville@gmail.com= ">freebsdlouisville@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div></div><div class=3D"gmail= _quote"><blockquote class=3D"gmail_quote" style=3D"margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex= ;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">On 5/7/23 1:57 AM= , Kevin Oberman wrote:<br> > On Sat, May 6, 2023 at 9:47=E2=80=AFPM Steven Friedrich <br> > <<a href=3D"mailto:freebsdlouisville@gmail.com" target=3D"_blank">f= reebsdlouisville@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> ><br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0On a fresh install of freebsd 13.2 (I did make a ne= w kernel, but I'm<br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0running GENERIC for this.<br> ><br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0I used pkg install to get virtualbox-ose.=C2=A0 Whe= n I try to load the<br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0vboxdrv.ko, I get this error:<br> ><br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available o= r version mismatch<br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupp= orted file type<br> ><br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0FreeBSD <a href=3D"http://freebsd.friedrich.org" re= l=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">freebsd.friedrich.org</a> <<a href=3D= "http://freebsd.friedrich.org" rel=3D"noreferrer" target=3D"_blank">http://= freebsd.friedrich.org</a>><br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A013.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE<br> >=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0releng/13.2-n254617-525ecfdad597 GENERIC amd64<br> ><br> ><br> > And here we go again...<br> ><br> > The packages are built on 13.1-RELEASE which means the package will <b= r> > not load on 3.2.
