Install Virtualbox on Mandriva 2007.1 [solved]

[Jza]

So I just made a clean install of Mandriva 2007.1, I wan to give a try to virtualbox however I need the source for the kernel. A huge list of almost 50 different kernels display. Which one should I use????

 

One of the following packages is needed:

I do a uname -a and uname -r:

[root@genius media]# uname -r

[root@genius media]# uname

[root@genius media]# man uname

Here are the kernel packages you need to have installed to make virtualbox work. If you have others, then remove them:

 

# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-2.6.17.14mdv-1-1mdv2007.1
kernel-latest-2.6.17-14mdv
nvidia97xx-kernel-2.6.17-13mdv-9755-1mdk
kernel-source-2.6.17.14mdv-1-1mdv2007.1
kernel-source-latest-2.6.17-14mdv

 

Ignore the nvidia97xx-kernel-2.6.17-13mdv-9755-1mdk package. This will be different. Its a video driver interface with the kernel package.

 

I hope this helps.

I think the kernel-source-stripped package (for your current running kernel) will do (item 2 on your list), if you have limited drive space or bandwidth.

This is the drawback of having two actively maintained volunteer kernels!
