Failed to load modules

A Former User

Hi, I think after updating to 4.4.5 I can’t load virtualbox modules for some reason. I noticed systemd-modules-load.service was failing on boot, I looked into it, and it wouldn’t load the modules vboxdrv, vboxnetadp and vboxnetflt in /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf.

When I do
$ modprobe vboxdrv
I get
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error

But
$ modinfo vboxdrv
returns

filename:       /lib/modules/4.4.5-1-ARCH/extramodules/vboxdrv.ko.gz
version:        5.0.14_OSE (0x00240000)

srcversion:     0A483BDD8DF92AD10E8C986
depends:        
vermagic:       4.4.3-1-ARCH SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 
parm:           force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int)

Any ideas? AFAIK I have the required packages installed, it was working yesterday.

$ uname -a

Thanks!

Installed the headers, rebuild some packages, and now it works! Thanks anarch!
linux-headers should be a dependency now shouldn’t it?

That’s fixed with version 5.0.16 of VirtualBox if I am reading the commit correctly:

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/virtualbox&id=b79afc2b72b306753b75ec600e1757e77735abf9

See this line:

depends=(‘dkms’ ‘gcc’ ‘make’ ‘linux-headers’)
