Im trying to startup a virtual machine with bridged networking, but when i do so i get this error upon vbox initialization.
If i use NAT everything works fine.

This is the 2.2.2 amd64 linux version (the distribution agnostic one)
VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Linux_amd64.run



Failed to start the virtual machine powerlog3.
Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).
Unknown error creating VM (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

Detials:

Is the vboxnetflt module compiled and loaded properly? Did you also select the correct NIC to use for Bridged?

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick

vboxnetflt was nicely compiled , it just wasnt insmodded

if I insmod it manually, it works just fine.

How can I get it to auto load itself ?

depmod -a ?


(and yes, I specified the eth0 nic (the only one in this machine) )

The netfilter module should be loaded automatically by vboxdrv init script. Run the setup of it again (sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup) and see if it's done after a reboot. If it's not loaded, then you can always add it to /etc/modules (if that's the file your distro uses, it is on Debian based).
