Problems building kernel modules on Fedora 26

[deviouswalsh]

Hello,

I've taken a Windows 10 machine and made it into a Linux box running Fedora 26. Now I'm trying to install VirtualBox 5.2, but I'm having problems building the kernel modules. The vbox-install.log file is showing this error:

Code: Select all

echo >&2;                                                       \
echo >&2 "  ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid.";           \
echo >&2 "         include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo >&2 "         Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it.";      \
echo >&2 ;             

But when I go to the kernel directory on my machine: /usr/src/kernels/4.13.11-200.fc26.x86_64 and run the commands specified, I get this error:

Any help is appreciated!

Well, I got the /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup to work by taking my machine out of secure boot mode. I had read that was a solution for some people, and it worked for me.

I've got this same problem on my Fedora 26. But I don't have secure boot, so I can't disable it.

Any other advice what to do about it?
