Hi, host interface was working nicely with the previous version. This new update has broken something.
I am using OpenSuse 11.1 64 bit and downloaded the appropriate version and installed it. All appeared to go well until I started one of my machine sup and got this:


Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).


Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {e3c6d4a1-a935-47ca-b16d-f9e9c496e53e}

Switching to NAT fixes the problem, but I want to use Bridged (or host interface) for my VM's.
A reboot of my host did no good.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Cheers, Peter.

I'm too got the problems after upgrading to 2.1.2 version.

Kernel module is loaded fine, but for vboxnetflt module there is a error messages in dmesg :

vboxnetflt: no symbol version for SUPDrvLinuxIDC
vboxnetflt: Unknown symbol SUPDrvLinuxIDC

OS is OpenSuSe 11.1,
Linux linux-1no2 2.6.27.7-9-pae #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
VirtualBox was installed using package:
VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_openSUSE111-1.i586.rpm

Does recompiling the host kernel modules with

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

help, that is, is the vboxnetflt module loaded then?

Hi, yes the recompile has fixed it.
Thank you so much!

Ooops! Spoke too soon, the guests will boot okay now in Host interface mode, but I get a 169.254......... address. Running a repair on the network connection does no good.
I'm away from the machine for the rest of day so I'll have to leave more troubleshooting until tonight.
Cheers, Peter

After upgrading to 2.1 I too had the same problem. In my case, I found a driver had come unbound from the adapter - specifically 'VirtualBox Host Interface Networking Driver'. After I rebound this to my adapter, I was able to use host networking without issue.

Hi, yes it was simply "pointing" to the wrong NIC!
Eth0 instead of Eth1
All is well again
Cheers, Peter
