Compiled on Kubuntu 7.04, /dev/vboxdrv does not get created

Post by da1l6 »

Hello

VBox rund fine on Kubuntu Edgy (6.10) but on Feisty the kernel driver fails.

I checked out the sources from SVN and compiled it:
./configure
source env.sh
kmk -j3
cd out/linux.x86/release/bin/src
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe vboxdrv

Everything seems fine, but /dev/vboxdrv does not get created. :cry:

$ lsmod | grep vbox
vboxdrv 31112 0

$ dmesg
...
[14550.007694] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate NMI watchdog permanently...
[14550.007701] vboxdrv: Successfully done.

Does anyone have a clue what is going on?
