Hello

In my Fedora 12 (Kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE) and Virtual Box 3.1.4

I have this error:

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is probably not loaded.

If you installed or VirtualBox OSE package recently you need to restart the computer for the driver to load.

Alternatively, you may attempt to load the driver by issuing the following command with system administrator (root) privileges:

'/etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules'

After:

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found.
FATAL: Module vboxnetadp not found.

Please, help me! Thanks!!

Sorry for my english.

Did you add the username to the vboxusers group?

Yes,

My user is in vboxusers group.

Thanks!!

So did it fix your issue?

No sorry,

The problem remains the same....

Did you reboot the host?
Please give details on how you installed VirtualBox.
Also look at /var/log/vbox-install.log
Post as an attachment here.

Did you prep the OS for the modes?
Try running this in a terminal. Then make sure that Fedora is up to date Then this

Try running this in a terminal.

Code: Select all

sudo yum install binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

Then make sure that Fedora is up to date

Code: Select all

sudo yum update

Then this

Code: Select all

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

these packages were installed, my fedora is updated.

When execute (sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup):

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
-bash: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory

The problem is not solved!!

This may be my mistake. Try installing VirtualBox now and see if you get the same error.
The vboxdrv setup takes for granted that it did install and just needs the module rebuilt.

I did and...i have other error:

The problem is the version of the Kernel (2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE)?

This should force sync to the kernel
