I have got VirtualBox installed on my OS v11.1, have configured a VM for WinXP, and am now ready to install the XP guest. VB sees my CDROM drive, and the XP disk is in the drive.
Starting the installation process immediatly causes the following error message:
***** VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu or Fedora should install the DKMS package at first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. *****
I of course ran the setup as instructed above, with the following result:
***** # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged. done Starting VirtualBox kernel module failed (No suitable module for running kernel found) # /
What would be a "suitable module" for running the kernel?
The driver file is indeed present. Here are its details:
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 7816 2009-02-25 21:24 /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
Since the file was installed by the VB installation process, I assume that its permisstions and ownership are correct.
What exactly is lacking?
Hi, ensure you have installed the right compiling requirements, in order to built the VBox driver: *kernel-source * kernel-syms * Xalan-c * Xerces-c * gcc * make Good Luck! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
