[arch-general] linux kernel 3.17 and virtualbox

[Genes Lists]

Quick heads up - virtualbox needs couple fixes which are not yet in 
upstream 4.3.14 in order to compile against 3.17.

There are patches here:
https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=296650#p296650
The patch file I used was : virtualbox-alloc_netdev.diff.txt

I have tested the module version of this and confirm it works with 
3.17.rc3 custom kernel and that virtualbox comes up and can boot a 
windows vm.

Regards,
