graphics driver module fails CENTOS 9 (5.14.0-350)

[dragonlavande]

Hi,

I have a Centos 9 VM as guest with the Kernel 5.14.0-350 el9 x86_64.
The graphics driver module fails to compile with an error drm/ttm/ttm_bo_api.h missing.

I had installed kernel headers.

I tried with 7.0.10 (error) and 7.0.11-158681 (error)

Thank you for your help

Kind regards,

I deduce that you are trying to install Guest Additions in the VM.

Guest Additions have prerequisites in Linux, same as Virtualbox on the host, see https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04. ... ions-linux and https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02. ... nux-prereq
Also, watch the terminal installation report when running the GAs installer. Error messages will show if the install ran into a problem.

it seems is it an incompatiblity with my kernel

Thank you very much

I see that the build output shows there was an error. Could you please point out what the error is?

I'm no Linux guru but I'm willing to learn it.

Hi,

In the log, i see two errors:

The first:
----------
echo >&2; \
echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo >&2 ; \

and the second:
------------------
/tmp/vbox.0/vbox_drv.h:174:11: erreur fatale: drm/ttm/ttm_bo_api.h : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

this include file (drm/ttm/ttm_bo_api.h) is missing.

I'm not able to go deeper in the analyze.

Kind regards for the help.

[scottgus1]

Thanks for the explanation.

The first echo-y error apparently is not an error, rather it's a batch file segment that gets run if that error happens. I got led aside by seeing this, several times, but a forum Linux guru informed me it could be ignored.

The second could be a bug in the GAs, it has happened before.

Let's confirm a couple things:

1.

All pre-requisite are OK:

What exactly did you do to confirm this? What exact commands did you run?

2.
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Attachments tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)

FWIW, I think the "first error" is not an error, but only the commands to output an error message in case that the test condition in the line above those lines fails.

The real error is the second one, but I don't know under which conditions the missing file is available or not.

Hi,

I downloaded Guest 158810 from test build and now is OK.
I updated the kernel also 5.14.0-352.el9.x86_64

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,
