Hi,

When running
# ./VirtualBox

I get the innotek VirtualBox gui.
I can complete all the info ie mem vdisk size etc.
I see the image on the left side with "power off"

How ever when I start the guest I get

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

HOST OS = SunOS xxxxx 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
Guest OS = XP sp2
#ls -al /dev/vboxdr
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 35 Feb 27 08:07 vboxdrv -> ../devices/pseudo/vboxdrv@0:vboxdr

# modinfo | grep vboxdrv

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

The right direction is likely to be using Solaris Express or another OpenSolaris based distribution.

Hi there,

Update your OS to the latest Solaris patch level first. So get update_4 with all the patches.

Then in the /opt/VirtualBox directory, run "ldd VirtualBox" and see if you have all the libraries installed (might want to play with LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

I've got Sol10_u4 working fine with VB 1.5.51

Cheers,
