/u02/software/VBOXADDITIONS_4.3.2_90405/ ./
VBoxLinuxAdditions.runIssue encountered:
Building main guest additions module Failed.
/tmp/vbox.0/Makefile.include.header:97: *** Error: unable to
find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=
and run make again.
Resolution/Solution steps:
Note: Always boot the OS using the latest kernel other than the
2.6.18-164.el5PAEStep-1 Set up Oracle Linux 6 with public-yum for
all updates
-Log in as user root
-Download the yum repo file from http://public-yum.oracle.com#
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
-If you want, you can edit the repo file and enable other
repositories, I enabled [ol6_UEK_latest] by just setting enabled=1
in the file with a text editor.
-Run yum repolist to show the registered channels and you see we
are including everything including the latest published
RPMs.Step-2:
# yum install kernel-devel
# yum install gcc
# yum install kernel
Reboot the system and re-run ./ VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
6. Change the resolution to higher value.
Click on System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
Change the resolution to 1024768. Click Apply. On next reboot
the system will show higher resolution.
2.Remove old Oracle Linux Kernels. And keeping only the most
updated with 'YUM'Procedure:
Login as root, and using 'yum' remove the old kernel as
below:[root@edbar2p6 init.d]# uname -r
2.6.18-371.1.2.0.1.el5[root@edbar2p6 init.d]# rpm -qa | grep
kernelkernel-devel-2.6.18-371.1.2.0.1.el5
kernel-PAE-devel-2.6.18-164.el5
kernel-2.6.18-371.1.2.0.1.el5
kernel-headers-2.6.18-164.el5
kernel-2.6.18-164.el5
kernel-PAE-2.6.18-164.el5#yum remove kernel-2.6.18-164.el5#yum
remove kernel-PAE-2.6.18-164.el5[root@edbar2p6 init.d]# rpm -qa |
grep kernel[root@edbar2p6 init.d]# reboot ( then test ,)Test by
starting all db & grid control
