I have recently upgraded my host system from linux openSUSE 11.1 to 11.2which
has a different kernel, so I have to rebuild the VirtualBox driver module. I
am not a programmer.
I have downloaded the kernel source files, which are in
/usr/src/linux-2.6.31.5-0.1 but there is a symlink to this directory at
/usr/src/linux.
I have installed gcc and make.
The first time I ran /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, there was an error log file
which told me:
ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are
missing."; \
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to
fix it."
I followed these instructions, and checked that include/linux/autoconf.h and
include/config/auto.conf were created. However, I still get the same errors on
running vboxdrv setup (yes, I am doing this as root).
The complete vbox-install.log contains:
Makefile:150: Warning: using /usr/src/linux as the source directory of your
Linux kernel. If this is not correct, specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run
Make again.
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0
SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 modules
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (

echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \

fix
it."; \

I would be grateful if someone could suggest what I need to do next.
Many thanks,
