Kernelproblem with 4.14.15?

[Geier0815]

Neigther nvidia nor virtualbox would build/run their modules. dmesg give

version magic '4.14.15-towo.1-siduction-amd64 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions retpoline ' should be '4.14.15-towo.1-siduction-amd64 SMP preempt mod_unload modversions '

Is this a problem with the kernel or the user?

Same her with nvidia-legacy-340xx, i must waiting for functionally patch.

I found on https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1026911/linux/4-15-rc1-patches-for-384-98-and-340-104/post/5229739/#5229739 but I am not sure...

[Geier0815]

Did you install the RC-Kernel? The link is talking about 4.15rc1, my problem is the 4.14.15.

[Camelot]

Sorry, i am blind.
I booting with 4.14.14-towo.2-siduction-amd64 – 4.14.15 is broken for me.

[towo]

Problem found.

For now the workaround is

edit /usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.15-towo.1-siduction-amd64/include/linux/vermagic.h

remove the last line MODULE_VERMAGIC_RETPOLINE

then do

dkms uninstall for nvidia and vbox modules and build them new.

[Camelot]

Thanks towo, your workaround works fine.

I reinstall nvidia-legacy-340xx-kernel-dkms virtualbox-dkms after editing and linux-headers-4.14.15-towo.1 booting without problem.

Excellent!  Thank you @towo!

Towo's fix worked for me too!


However, instead of

Code Select Expand

dkms uninstall I had to use

Code Select Expand

dkms remove to cleanly remove my nvidia and virtualbox drivers before reinstalling them.

[jaegermeister]

Hello,

as far as Virtualbox is concerned, I can confirm that the workaround here also works: after that, a simple "dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-dkms" fills the bill.

On the other side of the shore, VMware Workstation 14.0.0 is unaffected by the bug and works seamlessly.

Thanks towo!!!

[amdgoon]

Thanks towo, this fixed my issue where siduction is the guest OS too, removed and reinstall of virtualbox-guest-dkms and/or dpkg-reconfigure of that package then provided fully working guests.

[tommy2]

Yes, thanks towo all seems to be working here also.

I didn't install 4.14.15 but now after d-u and the 4.15.0 kernel from towo there is no issue with VB, thanks

[harley-peter]

Also here no problems with kernel 4.15.0, neither with nvidia nor with VB
