package oss4-dkms 4.2-build2002-2 failed to install/upgrade: oss4 kernel module failed to build

[J Richard Osborn]

Virtualbox fails to launch a WinXP VM. The error message says to re-install a driver, after first reinstalling DKMS. Parts of DKMS fail to install.

Ok from the build log we can see that the make never got started, only the header before the make has been emitted:

  Tue Feb 8 11:00:20 PST 2011

From the command line

    cp /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h /var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/core && make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/build SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/core modules && make -C /var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/drivers osscore_symbols.inc && make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/build SUBDIRS=/var/lib/dkms/oss4/4.2-build2002/build/drivers modules....(bad exit status: 1)

One of the commands there failed terminating the make. I would suggest first checking that /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h exists. Please paste the output of the commands below:

    ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h

Dear Bugs & Mr. Davies:

I apologize for launching parallel inquiries, not quite knowing what I was
doing. I would be satisfied with simplifying it down to my support case
dialogue with Mr. Davies re:

Case # 00015409: Sound stopped working

Nonetheless, here is the command requested by Bugs:

$: ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h

And the output(also provided to Mr. Davies):

ls: cannot access
/lib/modules/2.6.32-28-generic/source/include/linux/limits.h: No such file
or directory
