SVN + VMMR0.r0

Post by Coeus »

A week or so ago, after updating my Ubuntu test box from 8.04 to 8.10, I accidently installed (well, on purpose, but I forgot my 2.0.51 SVN images would not work on the repository version 2.0.somethinglower) VirtualBox OSE out of the Ubuntu repositories. This caused my SVN version to stop working. I uninstalled the repository version, rebuilt the SVN version from the latest SVN, and rebuilt the kernel module. But, now, whenever I try to start a VM, I get the error:

Code: Select all

Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).
A tail of the log produces:

Code: Select all

84: RTLogRelDefaultInstance
85: RTLogSetDefaultInstanceThread
86: RTLogLogger
87: RTLogLoggerEx
88: RTLogLoggerExV
89: RTLogPrintf
90: RTLogPrintfV
91: AssertMsg1
92: AssertMsg2
VMMR0.r0 is importing __memset_chk which we couldn't find
Many searches over the past week or so have yielded nothing. For what it's worth, when I'm running VirtualBox, I run it from the vbox/out/linux.x86/release/bin/ directory with the command: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./VirtualBox

I'm 99% sure I had built VirtualBox OSE and had it working on an Ibex system, but I can't remember for sure. Ibex is the first release where I've had to use --with-gcc-compat=4.2 when running ./configure

If anyone has any thoughts, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,

I had the same problem with vb-ose 2.0.4 on Ubuntu 8.10. The solution for me was to get latest SVN (r14092), which made the VMMR0 error go away.
I 'talked' with one of the developers on IRC, and it seems to be a compiler bug or something like that, but a workaround sould be in SVN now.

r14092 does seem to have fixed the issue for me. Thanks!

I'm running Kubuntu 8.10 out of the repos and I'm getting that error as well. It requires a reboot to go away.

Could there be another solution such as restarting a demon or particular service?
