I'm not an experienced linux user but I'm doing my best. I'm trying to make vitrualbox work in a new installation of CentOS 7.8.2003 (Core) with kernel 3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 as I mentioned in subject too.
Everything is going fine through the process of adding the oracle repo, installing VirtualBox-6.1.x86_64. But no luck when trying to start virtualbox...
Code: Select all
[root@localhost ~]# virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.Code: Select all

Any ideas will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
