Hi =D, i'm having some issues when i'm trying to install virtualbox on Centos 6.5.

This is the error i get:

Did you install the headers for the running kernel?

[Versteckt]

i think i did, but i just use

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers.x86_64 

Result:

Code: Select all

They don't match

It looks like you have installed a new kernel but are booting to the older kernel. In any case you must get them to match before it will work.

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Should do it if the repo has the proper headers. You might also need kernel-devel not sure about centos or make sure you are actually booting to the 504.8.1 kernel.

i got this:

BTW, thanks for helping =D

[Perryg]

And do you see a new kernel at the boot screen to choose from?

[Versteckt]

No, because it is a VPS.

i got all these kernels =/

Code: Select all

#rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64

[Perryg]

It clearly shows you have the kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1el6.x86_64 kernel so you need to boot into it. Anyway this is an issue you need to take up with the provider and or the centos group.
