Unable to start VM, Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Post by Lemon619 »

Hello,
I upgraded my kernel to version 4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64, my system is Fedora 28, and since then i am unable to start my vm. VirtualBox version is 5.2.18_RPMFusion r123745 .
But when i go back to the old version of my kernel 4.17.19-200.fc28.x86_64 everything work fine.
Is there something missing in this kernel, like some virtualbox driver ?
akmods is not able to build correctly also.
I attached the log when i try to : $ sudo akmods --force.

Any ideas ???

Thanks in advance

Seems like a problem similar to what I've been fighting for a while now. I've got a Fedora 28 VM and an Ubuntu 18.10 VM that would not share a host folder (but would boot). Problem was the timespec vs. timespec64 error you'e seeing. Less than an hour ago, I downloaded VBoxGuestAdditions_5.2.97-124971.iso from www_dot_virtualbox_dot_org/wiki/Testbuilds, executed the autorun.sh file, and now my VMs properly share the host folder.

Code: Select all

~$ rpm -qa | grep -i box | sort
akmod-VirtualBox-5.2.18-2.fc29.x86_64
VirtualBox-5.2.18-1.fc29.x86_64
VirtualBox-kmodsrc-5.2.18-1.fc29.noarch
VirtualBox-server-5.2.18-1.fc29.x86_64
