Hi i get this error when i I push start. I have it installed and i can start up the program but when i have already created a vitual disk and so on, then i push start to run it, it comes out this below. Please someone help me. I am using Sabayon Linux 3.4 miniEdition. Gentoo based. Thank you.
This is what comes up
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}
Then when I login root on console then i do /etc/init.d/vboxdry setup it shows
localhost james # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ... [ ok ]
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module ... [ ok ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel module ...

VirtualBox Kernel Driver not installed----HELPPPP
I recently had the same problem. I can not remember the correct context but I needed the kernel headers and kernel-devl. Also make sure gcc is installed. There is a post on the fedora forums discussing this in more detail. I believe I did yum install kernel-headers, yum install kernel-devl and yum install gcc. After all this was done I ran /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root and was good to go. Unfortunately I am not in front of my linux box, but post if you have any questions. This should get you started.
