error compiling kernel modules for kernel-4.15

[zd59]

Hi!

Host: windows x64 10 ent Build 10240 Guest: Slackware-14.2 x64 kernel-4.15 final from 28.1.2018 unmodified

Tried to compile vbox modules (autocompile at machine BOOT with new kernel) - failed with /var/log/vboxadd-setup.log containing:

---

Building the main Guest Additions module. make V=1 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/4.15.0/build SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 -j4 modules make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.

test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf

( \

echo >&2; \ echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \ echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\ echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \ echo >&2 ; \

---

So I repeat a kernel compilation and install with suggestion as above: 'make oldconfig && make prepare' following a compilation & installation of the kernel & modules. But this did not solve the error.

Note: on kernel-4.14.14 the vbox modules compile & work.

On #1730 I found a link to test builds and installed VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.7-120528 This solved a problem.

Consider this case closed.
