Hello,

My VM's don't start anymore since I upgraded to Linux 5.4.63-1-lts.

I removed the old VirtualBox version, then I installed the virtualbox-host-dkms package without errors.

I enabled the kernel modules vboxdrv, vboxnetadp and vboxnetflt and added myself to the vboxusers group. I also did a reboot.

I installed the Extension Pack using vboxmanage and I made sure the versions are correct - 6.1.12.

Version:

Code: Select all

$ vboxmanage --version
6.1.12r139181

Extpack: Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-6.1.12.vbox-extpack

But the VM does not start. Apparently there is a problem with the USB interface.

Code: Select all

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine windows_10.

Failed to load R0 module /usr/lib/virtualbox/ExtensionPacks/Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack/linux.amd64/VBoxEhciR0.r0: RTLdrGetBits failed (VERR_SYMBOL_VALUE_TOO_BIG).

Failed to load ring-0 module 'VBoxEhciR0.r0' for device 'usb-xhci' (VERR_SYMBOL_VALUE_TOO_BIG).

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

I already had the same type of error with Linux kernel 5.8. Downgrading to 5.7 solved the problem for me. Now I am on LTS and it's not working for new.

How to solve this problem?

I reinstalled the extension pack from the AUR, now it is working.

Great! Glad you're up and running.

Thank you although I do not understand why this version mismatch is working.

Code: Select all

$ vboxmanage --version
6.1.12r139181

with

Code: Select all

$ grep pkgver= virtualbox-ext-oracle/PKGBUILD
pkgver=6.1.14

There is 6.1.12 and 6.1.14 and my VM seems to work.

Sometimes a mismatch does not cause trouble, but there is no way to tell if a mismatch will not cause trouble. Better to always match the versions.

1. Make sure version of extension matches the VirtualBox version.

2. You can check the VirtualBox version by opening VirtualBox Manager, then in Menu, Open Help >> About VirtualBox

3. Download/Install the Extension Pack for the VirtualBox version in Step 2.

Problem should be resolved now.
