Upgraded to 6.1.34, after this "Unable to locate imported symbol 'memset'"

[gusnan]

Just upgraded to vbox 6.1.34, on Debian Bullseye, virtualbox apt repos. After this I cannot start any VMs.

Code: Select all

Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0: Unable to locate imported symbol 'memset' for module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).
Failed to load ring-0 module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' for device 'pci' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).


Result Code:  NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:  ConsoleWrap
Interface:  IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

Same here. Running a Fedora 35 host. Cannot start either a Fedora 36 or Genymotion guest, same error when trying to start the F36 guest.

Edit: Noticed there is a ticket https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/20904 , added my log file to it.

I have the same problem, with fedora 35 x86_64, kernel 5.17.3-225

I've got the same result on Fedora 35:

So, it's actually easy to fix.

Download any 6.1.x test build (I used Linux EL8 64-bit) and replace your existing /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0 with the one from the archive.

I extracted the file from the 6.1.32 rpm with the command

Code: Select all

rpm2cpio VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.32_149290_fedora33-1.x86_64.rpm | cpio -ivmd ./usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0

and that version seems to work fine. What does the file do? Does it have to be a newer version?

From https://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/tru ... oxDDR0.cpp

"BoxDDR0 - Built-in drivers & devices (part 1), ring-0 module."

It's really small and doesn't seem to be doing a lot.

Hi,

same problem on Debian 11 (Bullseye)

Code: Select all

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win10Pro.

Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0: Unable to locate imported symbol 'memset' for module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).

Failed to load ring-0 module 'VBoxDDR0.r0' for device 'pci' (VERR_SYMBOL_NOT_FOUND).

Component: ConsoleWrap
Interface: IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

[EDIT #1]

As suggested above, I replaced the file /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0 installed by version 6.1.34 with that provided by version 6.1.32, extracted from package virtualbox-6.1_6.1.32-149290~Debian~bullseye_amd64.deb
All my VMs seem to be working.
I waiting for a new version with the fix.

[EDIT #2]

As suggested by @galitsyn, I unistalled the deb package of version 6.1.34 and reinstalled VirtualBox using the VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run installer.

Same on Debian 11. As pointed above, replace the /usr/lib/virtualbox/VBoxDDR0.r0 from archive seems to be a good temporary fix before Virtualbox's new release.

What archive are you getting it from? I am trying with

VirtualBox-6.1-6.1.32_149290_fedora33-1.x86_64.rpm

but it still doesn't get Vbox running.

Ignore that - I got a deb for 6.1.32 and installed that. That solved it finally.

Hi guys,

Thanks for pointing to the issue. As a temporary workaround I would suggest to use VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run installer from https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/6.1.34/. I also would recommend to DO NOT play with VBoxDDR0.r0 replacement, but rather go for .run installer option.

Would be nice if you guys released a quick fix/update. After all we are talking a completely broken release.

For all the interested, I've extracted VBoxDDR0.r0 from VirtualBox-6.1.34-150636-Linux_amd64.run which you can download below.

sha256sum:

The file is linked statically, so it will work on all Linux distros.

[mpack]

The devs specifically asked you NOT to mess around with replacing the .r0 file. Also, providing a copyrighted file as an attachment to a post can get some people downright upset. Please leave software distribution to those that own the software.

Hi guys,

This issue should now be fixed. We just updated https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads and now download links point to proper packages. Please feel free to give it a try.

Thank you!

The updated packages are available in the repositories on https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox for about 4 hours now.

For 3rd party packagers: the patch which needs to be applied to resolve this memset issue (which is due to compilers becoming too smart lately) is https://www.virtualbox.org/changeset?re ... Config.kmk - the Debian/Ubuntu packager reported this applies with a little fuzz, but it works.
