[opensuse] Virtualbox install problems
I have installed Virtual Box from openSuSE 10.3 repositories, but when I try to start a virtual machine I get the error: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45} and if I use vboxdrv setup I get: Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged. done Starting VirtualBox kernel module FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found. failed (modprobe vboxdrv failed) I don't know what else to install in order to have VirtualBox running. Could you advise please? -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you using: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUS... It was working for me until I switched to binaries from innotek/Sun. -- Regards, Rajko http://en.opensuse.org/Portal needs helpful hands. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Just install kernel-source package and run the command /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. Then every thing will work. I too suggest you install the virtual box from sun's website, if you need proprietary drivers or usb support.
