#20017 new defect

VB installation failing in linux kernel drivers installation

Reported by: jepjepus Owned by:
Component: installer Version: VirtualBox 6.1.16
Keywords: vboxpci linux debian Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: Linux

Description

Host is a Debian 10. Kernel is 5.9.3.

Compilation of modules located in /usr/src/vboxhost-6.1.16 fail during the install stage. It is the vboxpci driver.

I checked its content and it seems there has been some cleaning there (all Makefile*) files, etc.

I have managed to bypass that failure to install and all other drivers get installed (I just renamed the vboxpci to vboxpci.del in order to be bypassed).

I can run VirtualBox but then (my guess is that) VT-d, for the guest machines, cannot be enabled.

Regards, Josep

I have checked testing version 6.1.17.

It seems that vboxpci driver has been removed.

VirtualBox GUI does not allow selecting "Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V" under System>Processor but under the Settings the Acceleration is shown as "VT-x/AMD-V, Nested Paging".

I imagine next release will have the vboxpci folder removed.
