Gents,
I was following this quite good HowTo, but unfortunately the modules that are compiled do not load.
Looks like they are compiled for a wrong version, which is more recent that the kernel 5.0-RC3.

When I start the VBoxLinuxAdditions.run it gives me:

.....

Starting the VirtualBox Guest Additions ...fail!
(modprobe vboxguest failed)

....
and dmesg is saying:

vboxguest: version magic '3.2.71-slitaz SMP mod_unload 386 ' should be '3.2.53-slitaz SMP mod_unload 386 '

I have loaded the packages from the official repository via the tazpkg manager, so how can it be that the version is not matching ?

modprobe is coming back withthe famous:

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxguest': Exec format error

Anyone having had this before ? uname -r is confirming Iḿ on kernel "3.2.53-slitaz", so I don know how I can get the wrong modules compiled ...

Did some Linux in my earlier days, but just started on Slitaz (qiote inetersting !)
Any advice is highly appreciated !

please allow me to correct my own stupid mistake here ....

the kernel simply had to be upgraded as well, so upgrading the package "Linux" was enough to solve it.
All perfect now, thanks for your Patience.
