Strange Virtualbox problem

[impatiens]

Thanks for your help, guys. I installed the right kernel-source, and /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup still fails. My vbox-install.log now looks like this:

Looks like there is architecture mismatch. Are you sure your not trying to run the 64 bit version of Virtualbox on an x86 machine? Or maybe you installed the wrong kernel-source.

Please post the output of "uname -r"

Post apart from that the output of:

slapt-get -search '^kernel-'

Okay, here is the output of those commands, plus uname -a:

I know I went to the x86_64 link when I went to download the kernel-source. The old kernel (2.6.33.4) is x86. Is that an issue?

[Shador]

Did you upgrade your kernel outside of the package management? Because no 3.3.6 kernel is listed as installed just the stock kernel.

[impatiens]

I guess not. How would I go about fixing that problem?

Sorry if I'm a little dense. I'm still trying to figure out life outside the *buntus.

[Shador]

I don't know what you did. If you install stuff outside the package management only you can tell what you did. Unless you can tell me what you did and thus I know what's going on, I won't make blind suggestions what to do. So what did you do to get that 3.3.6 kernel?

[impatiens]

Oh, now I get what you're asking. I didn't use the package management system to upgrade the kernel. I used Firefox to download everything, extracted the files, put everything in the right place, and ran the included shell scripts.

So your hardware is x86_64

The old kernel (2.6.33.4) is x86

This implies that you have Salix x86 OS installed

I know I went to the x86_64 link when I went to download the kernel-source

So you installed the x86_64 kernel and sources. Strike this, I see that you do have the x86 kernel and sources installed.

Is that an issue?

Yes. If your operating system is x86 then you need to install Shador's x86 kernel and kernel-source packages. And you will need to download and install the x86 version of Virtualbox.

[impatiens]

I decided I'm going to install the 64-bit version of Salix. That should solve this problem, right?
