I saw this question already being asked on this thread: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=17528 However, this didn't work for me. I am a complete linux n00b so could someone please explain howto fix this error (I will post the error here aswell):
I upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and got a message on VB saying to upgrade to 2.2.2, I did and when I try to boot my os, I get these errors:
Code: Select all
Kernel 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, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
Code: Select all
