"Kernel driver not installed" -- but it is install

Post by Sonos »

I did a first-time install of VB on a Mac Pro with 10 GB RAM, running 10.5.2. I successfully created a drive image and a VM, intending to install Debian as the guest.

When I try to start the VM, I get the "driver not installed" error message. But:

Code: Select all

ls -l /dev/vboxdrv 
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   17,   0 May  6 17:57 /dev/vboxdrv

kextstat -kl | grep VBox
  118    0 0xae79b000 0x14000    0x13000    org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxDrv (1.6.0)
  119    0 0x86901000 0xe000     0xd000     org.virtualbox.kext.VBoxUSB (1.6.0) <45 35>
So obviously the driver is installed. Thanks for suggestions.
