Error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Hello
In my Fedora 12 (Kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686.PAE) and Virtual Box 3.1.4
I have this error:
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is probably not loaded.
If you installed or VirtualBox OSE package recently you need to restart the computer for the driver to load.
Alternatively, you may attempt to load the driver by issuing the following command with system administrator (root) privileges:
'/etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules'
After:
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found.
FATAL: Module vboxnetadp not found.
Please, help me! Thanks!!
Sorry for my english.

Re: Error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Did you reboot the host?
Please give details on how you installed VirtualBox.
Also look at /var/log/vbox-install.log

Re: Error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Did you prep the OS for the modes?
Try running this in a terminal.
Then make sure that Fedora is up to date
Then this

Re: Error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
This may be my mistake. Try installing VirtualBox now and see if you get the same error.
The vboxdrv setup takes for granted that it did install and just needs the module rebuilt.
