Add a #include <linux/types.h> to the-linux-kernel.h and let us know if it helps.

Does not help , now I get on top the other errors :

/lib/modules/2.6.23-gcfa76f02/build/include/linux/types.h:33: error: previous declaration of 'bool' was here

Looking at include/iprt/types.h that has already #include <linux/types.h>.


Yeah, this is a VirtualBox problem.

At this point, this is clearly a matter for innotek, not for the mainstream kernel development community.
