Virtualbox 3.2.8 modules do not compile with Kernel 2.6.36-rc5

[zdavatz]

I just installed VirtualBox 3.2.8 on my Linux and when doing

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I get the follwoing error in my

/var/log/vbox-install.log

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

( \

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

I done

Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it

as suggested but it did not help.

What a surprise. Linux 2.6.36 rc1 was released at 2010/08/16, VirtualBox 3.2.8 was released at 2010/08/05. The fix will be available with the next maintenance release.

Ok, thank you, good to know! Sorry for the noise.
