[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 5.0.22 does not install under OI

[russell]

Hi,

I tried to upgrade to VirtualBox 5.0.22 after first removing VirtualBox
5.0.20.
Unfortunately after starting the install with pkgadd -d
./VirtualBox-5.0.22-SunOS-amd64-r108108.pkg it failed as it it not
recognised the kernel version.
Attempting to use Jim Klimov script to complete the install also failed.
After attempting to remove the partially installed VirtualBox 5.0.22 I
decided to revert to a previous BE as a quick solution.

I had updated my desktop to the latest Hipster release at the weekend.

Regards

Russell

Hello Russell,

A post earlier in the month shared this information.

.....................................................................
"Workaround is to put: *set disable_smap=1 *in */etc/system* and reboot, before
starting VirtualBox", together with "*|touch /etc/vboxinst_vboxflt"
.....................................................................


Just wondering if you have this fix in place on your system.

Thank you,

Jerry

Hi, see if you can answer below quotes and by hitting reply on e-mail
client, for messages to be under the same thread.

As before, I made patched VirtualBox package for illumos,OI, using
word-by word instructions and patch from Jim Klimov at:
https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh

As VirtualBox-5.0.22-SunOS-amd64-r108108-illumos.tar.gz :

<https://mega.nz/#%21bchQFTgA%21n_V5gFlPoS-_0cBotR8LAMoNZbG4D5xmdqBLuutvedw>

Everyone can patch it himself, but I uploaded mine so can be reused,
untill VBox is made for OI.

Hey Nicola,
This is great, and you've set a precedent!
Got a build of 5.0.24 yet? :)

Thanks!
