Specifically for VirtualBox 6.0.8 on OSX 10.4.5, see "installation fails for vbox 6.0.8 on osx 10.14.5".
The majority of the problems on 10.13.x, 10.14.x is solved by following the Apple Documentation: User-Approved Kernel Extension Loading. In summary:
- If your installation fails, you might not get prompted to go to the Security settings. No one knows why it does/doesn't work.
- Reboot your computer, retry the installation.
- After the installation fails, go to the System Preferences » Security » General, and "Allow Oracle" to install kernel extensions.
- Retry the installation.
This thread is NOT about VirtualBox on 10.14 beta. There is a another thread in the pre-releases section: 5.2.12 install fails on macOS Mojave (#17805). The issue has been FIXED with the latest Apple betas and the latest VirtualBox versions.
This thread is NOT about VirtualBox on a remotely controlled OSX. There is a another thread about that: 10.13 Failing installation; Kernel driver not loaded.
Greetings to all, I am trying to install VirtualBox on my iMac and it keeps failing right at the end of the installation process. I have tried the installation several times after using the Uninstall tool included in the package but it keeps failing each time. Tried Googling for an answer but don't seem to fin anything on this topic. Tried several different search terms.
It does not complete the installation and I get an error message during the installation and although the application is installed when I want to start a virtual machine I get the following error:
Code: Select all
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.
PD.
