for some unknown reason loading the virtualbox kernel modules suddenly fail. I already rebuilt the modules and even removed and reinstalled all virtualbox-related packages from the debian repositories without any effect. There were no error messages during install and building the modules, everything seemed to work.
Code: Select all
$ sudo modprobe --verbose vboxdrv
insmod /lib/modules/4.14.0-3-amd64/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error
Code: Select all
[79848.516182] module: vboxdrv: Unknown rela relocation: 4
It's the correct module version (Google told me that wrong kernel-modules-combinations can be the issue sometimes, but not the case here):
Code: Select all

Anyone any idea?
