Installation Problem - Driver failed to attach
Posted: 7. Dec 2010, 02:43
I have a problem installing VirtualBox on Solaris 10 running on an x4100.
Problem:
# pkgadd -d VirtualBox-3.2.12-SunOS-r68302.pkg
# ...
# ...runs normally, prompts for responses
# ...
## Executing postinstall script.
Checking for older bits...
- Unloaded: Web service
- Unloaded: Zone access service
- Removed: Host module
Installing new ones...
Loading VirtualBox kernel modules...
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: vboxdrv
Warning: Driver (vboxdrv) successfully added to system but failed to attach
can't load module: Protocol error
- Loading: Host ...FAILED!
## Completed but with errors.
pkgadd: ERROR: postinstall script did not complete successfully
Installation of <SUNWvbox> failed.
# uname -a
SunOS cybele 5.10 Generic_118855-33 i86pc i386 i86pc
# isainfo -k
amd64
# tail /var/adm/messages
Dec 6 17:41:40 cybele vboxdrv: [ID 706828 kern.notice] NOTICE: cpuset_t size mismatch. probably too old a kernel.
Dec 6 17:41:40 cybele vboxdrv: [ID 981640 kern.notice] NOTICE: vbi_init failed. rc=22
The patch manager doesn't show any available updates (although I hasten to add my Solaris sysadmin skills are rusty).
Nothing in the ReadMe.txt seems to help. I know this was discussed about 18-24 months ago, but don't see anything there that fixes this problem.
Ideas?
