vbox Virtualbox: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully. where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRI

[bsd_user_1234]

I'm trying to emulate windows 11 on:
FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE releng/13.2-n254617-525ecfdad597 GENERIC

I have installed virtual box with:
sudo pkg install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-additions

I've added this to my /boot/loader.conf

vboxdrv_load="YES"

I've added this to my /etc/rc.conf

linux_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
vboxguest_enable="YES"
vboxservice_enable="YES"

I've created a new virtual machine with 9gb's of ram, 400gb's of virtual storage (dynamic disk), and I have disabled 3d acceleration.
I've attached an iso image and launched the machine to get this error message:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Running kldstat | grep vbox indeed shows nothing.
When I attempt to load the module manually with
sudo kldload vboxdrv

I get:

kldload: an error occurred while loading module vboxdrv. Please check dmesg(8) for more details.

Checking dmesg shows:

KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupported file type

Is there something I can do to make this work?
For example, would building virtualbox from the ports be able to fix this issue?
Or can i somehow select a different version of vboxdrv to be installed through pkg?

EDIT: I've removed the installed packages and built virtualbox (virtualbox-ose, virtualbox-ose-kmod) from the ports, <br>
checking out the 525ecfdad597 hash (in /usr/src) and now, when attempting to load the vboxdrv module, I get:<br>

kldload: unexpected relocation type 42, symbol index 918
link_elf_obj: symbol __stack_chk_guard undefined
linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupported file type

VirtualBox is broken with pkg and will remain so until packages will built on 13.2-RELEASE (and not on 13-1-RELEASE as today). It should has worked with ports. Be sure your ports collection is up to date. Search a little on the forum, you're not alone in this case.

You just need to build virtualbox-ose-kmod, you can keep virtualbox-ose from pkg. And I advise you to install with pkg all the dependencies needed by virtualbox-ose-kmod.

Well, i tried installing the 13.2 kernel from source, but my system wouldn't boot XD
I followed this: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig/#kernelconfig-building

When I attempted to boot I got (the same thing as here: https://freebsd-questions.freebsd.n...r-2-unknown-file-system-after-upgrade-to-10-1):

Mounting from zfs:zroot/ROOT/default failed with error 2: unknown file system.

For now, I've reverted to the old kernel.

It's not the kernel that's the problem. It's the fact that the package for the virtualbox kernel module has been compiled for 13.1, not 13.2.

Just rebuild emulators/virtualbox-ose-kmod from ports to have it properly line up with your kernel version.

 

[bsd_user_1234]

hmmm, but I checked out releng/13.2 in /usr/src before building the kmod.
I even get two different errors in dmesg when attempting to kldload vboxdrv after building for 13.1 and 13.2 respectively:

KLD vboxdrv.ko: depends on kernel - not available or version mismatch linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupported file type

kldload: unexpected relocation type 42, symbol index 918 link_elf_obj: symbol __stack_chk_guard undefined linker_load_file: /boot/modules/vboxdrv.ko - unsupported file type

The emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions is for the guest. You don't need to install (or enable) it on the host.
