Big Sur Host Issues

Post by Franklin S Werren »

I got this error as well.....
I think it was due to an upgrade Virtual Box did and same on me if I allowed it after fixing the last time by installing from HomeBrew

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.

Per "One issue per thread", I broke this off that really-long-in-the-tooth topic.

This error has appeared a lot on Mac Hosts. I forget where the solution is posted, as I'm more Windows-centric in my knowledge. Try web-searching

VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED "Mac Hosts" site:forums.virtualbox.org

or check out the stickies at the top of Mac Hosts.
