vboxdrv error when starting VM on OpenSUSE 11.1

[soldersplash]

Big HELLO VB Forum!
My first post, unfortunately VB not working for me at the mo'

Host OS = OpenSUSE11.1
GuestOS = Not yet installed, intend WinXP Pro SP3

When attempting first start of new VM I get message about vboxdrv module not loaded or so...
Message suggests running /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as su.

This happens:-

Code: Select all

linux-wz8y:/home/daniel # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                                                                        done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module                                                                     failed
  (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
linux-wz8y:/home/daniel # cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
Makefile:167: *** Error: unable to find the include directory for your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_INCL=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.

Anyone else seen this or have ideas to proceed?
Thanks,

There are some prerequisites that you must do before you install VBox. See Chapter 2.3. - 2.3.2 Installing on Linux hosts in the VBox users Guide.
Also you will need to add yourself to the VBoxusers group.
