Errors on trying to install linux58

JamesT · 25 August 2020 11:00

When I try to install the latest kernel, I get two errors:

The DKMS modules fail to build
There is apparent missing firmware on building the initramfs.

Below are the relevant bits of the output:

sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux58

The same firmware message occurs for the fallback image as well.

Try to install it via pacman:

sudo pacman -Syu linux58 linux58-headers linux58-virtualbox-host-modules

JamesT · 25 August 2020 11:28

Exactly the same result.

And: un-install virtualbox, install kernel, sudo update-grub, reboot, install virtualbox + modules?

Consult /var/lib/dkms/vboxhost/6.1.12_OSE/build/make.log for more information.

this is not for fun only...

Hello,

Where you using Manjaro settings/ Kernel to install?

JamesT · 29 August 2020 06:23

No, just the command line mhwd-kernel

I’m thinking it’s related to https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/19644

The problem looks to be fixed with today’s update.
