On trying to boot the above kernel, I get a "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules" error. This appears to be caused by missing vboxdrv modules (from VirtualBox). Booting an earlier kernel works fine.
I have virtualbox installed and I also have that kernel. I just rebooted this morning, so I know it works, and I just ran virtual box. It is showing 4.3.12r93733 uname -a Linux pauls-server 3.14.5-200.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 2 14:26:34 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Two comments:
- I thought DKMS was supposed to rebuild the VBox modules for each new
kernel automatically. This has happened in the past but seems to have failed now. Why would this be and how can I fix it?
- The error message was unhelpful as it didn't identify which modules
failed. It took some searching to find what the problem was. Surely this could be done better. (In fact I'd argue that failing to load these modules shouldn't result in a failed boot, but I realize that's maybe harder to deal with).
