i think so there is an issue with the last 4 lines ...thanking in advance..

thanks

Modedit: I put the log in code tags, it makes it a bit easier to read, and saves a long scroll down

I think the problem is that the kernel is build with GCC 3.2, but you currently have a different version installed, 3.4. When compiling kernel modules, one of the requirements is that you have the same compiler version installed that is used on the kernel.

If possible, update the kernel, because it's really old. 2.6.9 is a long time ago. 2.6.30 is already final and the first alpha of 2.6.31 has been released already. Red Hat 4.8 isn't brand new either, but that doesn't mean it should work with an ancient kernel.

you're kidding? RHEL 4.8 was released about two months ago ... what else if thats not brand new?

and 2.6.9 will always be the kernel for the RHEL 4 Series

If it is an issue with the kernel, is there any way to upgrade the kernel, or any workaround for me to install the virtualbox..cause the issue still persists when i am trying to install older versions of Virtualbox..i will appreciate if you guys can help me out as i am a newbie to os administration...
thanks

its an issue with a compat-gcc package, read the answers from TrevorPH and sej7278 in the mentioned thread. (Centos is a compatible rebuild of RHEL, so Centos 4.7 is like RHEL 4.7)

sej7278 wrote:it seems the package compat-oracle-rhel4.i386 is what does all this - an rpm provided by oracle to allow installation.

they effectively disabled the gcc346 that comes with the operating system, then install gcc323 just so that they can use it to compile some library that actually requires gcc296. go back to programming school oracle, bloody amateurs!

hi guys i have followed the steps mentioned by trevor and i was sucessfully able to compile the kernel....now a new issue i was able to create a virtual machine but when i try to start it aborts....

the steps if followed are as below

1. removed compat-oracle
2. installed virtualbox 2.2.4
3 .installed compat-oracle
4. created virtual machine
5. when trying to start the machine a black srceen appears and disappears and the machine is in a aborted state....guys need help
thanks
vap824

When the machine aborts and crashes, there usually is a log that's cut off right at the moment it crashes. Please post the log here. And list the settings too, you might have enabled something that's causing it.

hi i am attaching the log file...
