Probelms with installation

Dear Forumers!

I have a nice question about the installation process of VirtualBox.
Everything works fine until I mounted a Windows10 on the VirtualBox.
Indeed two errors occured during installation process:
1,

Code: Select all

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 ;							\
/bin/false)
2.

Code: Select all

depmod: ERROR: fstatat(3, nls_iso8859-1.ko): No such file or directory
I could not solve these.

Anyway the problem is that the win os is not detecting the x64 processor, and is giving a black death at boot.

Thanks for your advices.

The first is not an error. The ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid is not really shown, the script only runs in verbose mode. The error message would be displayed by the Linux Makefile if there would be any problem with the kernel configuration.

I don't know about the 2nd problem. Doesn't look related to VirtualBox. Just try to execute depmod -ae manually. If this doesn't work, find out why. Looks like some screwup of your local kernel.
