SLES12 vBox 5.08

Post by tbrinkmann »

Hi there,

we are trying to install the guest additions on a fresh installed and fully patched SLES12.

Does VBox support SLES12 ?
Do we need DKMS ?

The installation process run´s well (done) but the installer can not start the the guest additions.
--> (modprobe vboxguest failed)

The kernel-source package is installed but the install log shows following error....

grep: /lib/modules/3.12.48-52.27-default/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory

---> The log also show a advice I´am not understand.

test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
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

Can anyone help ?

A list of supported guests, and the correct GAs installation procedures for them, is given in the user manual.
