Post by victorlin21 »

My MacBook Pro has installed 2.0.4 and today I download and upgrade to 2.0.6. I found the following error message in the end of installation pkg. Then after it won't launch VM. It gotta reboot my MBP. Seem some kernel extenstion related script installation permission on Mac..

FWIW, I get this on ALL VirtualBox upgrade. Seems like the postflight script is unable to unload the previous kernel modules. Removing them by hand fails as well, saying that they have 1 "instance" using them...

I get the same error. My error log shows the following problem.

Nov 27 16:27:10 ben-collvers-computer : postflight[387]: kextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension /Library/Extensions/VBoxDrv.kext

Installing the latest system Software Updates solved the problem for me.
