Solved VirtualBox driver load failing

Hello,

I have been having troubles installing VirtualBox from ports on my brand new FreeBSD 11 installation.

The problem is that after successful installation(even a couple of reboots) kldload vboxdrv fails with:

KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: Unsupported file type


I tried re-compiling a couple of times with the following differences:

1. /usr/src at stable/11

2. Same as above but with the patches that come through from freebsd-update(fetch and then install)

3. /usr/src at HEAD

After each change I do

make deinstall
make install clean

but the result is always the same(even after a reboot).

My Hardware:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz
MB: ASUS PRIME Z270-P
RAM: 16GB(2x8GB Kingston Hyperx)(not sure which ones, can check if necessary)
HDD: 1TB Samsung 850 Evo
Graphics Card: Intel built-in(with SCFB driver).

I can't find anybody having a similar problem so it must be me doing something wrong and I don't know what else to try.

Also, as pointed out to me in this thread, ACPI related stuff are not working.

Could it be a conflict in between this and another module? I have bhyve installed but not loaded in the kernel:

Thank you in advance.
 
Don't use any of the /base/release directories. If you need the source for 11.0-RELEASE it's /base/releng/11.0.
 
To elaborate, the /base/release/ are mostly there for administrative reasons (if I recall correctly it has something to do with the way tags/branches work). Those are basically "frozen" in time and never updated. The /base/releng/ directories are the actually -RELEASE versions, these get errata and security fixes. At this time you'd get the sources for 11.0-RELEASE-p7. The releng moniker is bit of a relic from the past, it's short for RELease ENGineering. The old cvs tree used tags like RELENG_4_3 for example for 4.3-RELEASE.
