No - it is about the technology. I'm compiling kernels after
tinkering with the scheduler and other kernel internals. So I set up a
virtualbox to do this. When I do, I followed the Manjaro instructions
located here.
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Virtualbox
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No some of this I'm not understanding. Virtualization is built into the
hardware, so why do I have to use these OS and Kernel specific packages.
It will then be necessary to select the appropriate *Virtualbox Host
Module* to install, depending on the kernel version currently being run.
Rather like installing a driver, doing so will ensure that Virtualbox is
able to run properly. For example, where running kernel 3.7, the
appropriate number would be entered to install the following module:
uname -r
You will have something like : /3.7.4-1-MANJARO/. It means that the
kernel is /linux37/. Then install it with
sudo pacman -S linux/37/-virtualbox-host-modules
Once the installation has completed, it will then be necessary to add
the /Virtualbox Module/ to your kernel. *The easy way is to simply
reboot your system*. Otherwise, to start using Virtualbox immediately,
enter the following command:
sudo modprobe vboxdrv
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And more immediate to my problem, I'm HACKING the kernel. So if I make
Kernel changes, will that break the virtualbox, regardless of any
changes in the kernel.
I downloaded the latest kernel from kernel.org and did a compile and it
won't boot, and I'm not sure why. So I need to eliminate this as a
possible problem. I doubt it, but I don't know.
