Fedora 15 DKMS

[raizcorp]

Hi all i get this error when running the vm

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.


when i run the setup i get the following error:

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMSError! echo

[root@RaizSrv2 raizcorp]# cd /var/log/vbox-install.log



the log file has this error:

yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel

Thank you, i ran that and then the setup again but it didnt take the kernel build.

Do you have dkms 2.2.0.2-1? (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702483 )

[raizcorp]
