The changes to mmap broke the build of it. Al Viro looked at it and apparently found that vbox has some dodgy code that was relying on some of the old symbols and needs to be rewritten. I am utterly unsurprised in this development. Anyway, as you said, VirtualBox needs to fix itself. There's nothing we can do here. josh -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
3.5.0 kernel problem
I'm using a Rawhide VirtualBox 4.1.16 guest set up to automatically install guest additions via dkms for each new kernel. My problem is apparently caused by failure of the guest additions to build properly with the 3.5.0 kernel. When it attempts to build (either when I install a new 3.5.0 kernel, or boot into one) it causes the corruption I mentioned. For the time being I've removed dkms in the guest. The next version of VirtualBox will probably have a fix. http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/pre-release-beta/475811-re-linux-kernel-3-5-rcx-has-been-released-test-post-your-commentshere-post2467176.html -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

Yum-presto shouldn't matter since when it sees an error like this, it would download the full RPM instead, and even if it didn't, if the rebuild subsequently failed it would download the full RPM after that. It shouldn't be possible for a corrupted RPM to get into the transaction. Anyway, I downloaded kernel-devel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git12.1.fc18.x86_64.rpm from Koji and used yum reinstall on it. After this, the corresponding System.map file exists, though it didn't before. While doing this, I was running the 3.4.0 non-debug kernel as usual. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I have kernel-3.4.0-1.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git11.1.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git12.1.fc18.x86_64 installed, I have an initramfs for all of them, and testing the latest one, it boots properly (most of the time I just boot into a non-debug kernel in runlevel 3, apply updates, and shut down).

3.5.0 kernel problem
First - If this is the wrong place for this please tell me where. Rawhide (Fedora 18) I have never been able to install and configure any of the 3.5.0 kernels. They install but fail to create a initramfs file. Hence they will not boot. I have seen two different 'failed' messages. One from today is "Non-fatel POSTTRANS scriptlet failure in rpm package kernel-3.5.0-0.rc0.git11.1.fc18.x86_64. I got no initramfs file for this kernel. The other 'failed' message, which I unfortunately did not write down, was a failure to 'find modules' that showed the path to where they expected to find these modules. I got no initramfs file for these kernels either. In all cases I did not get an initramfs.
