Each time i try to run one of my guest OSses i get this error:

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {13420cbb-175a-4456-85d0-301126dfdec7}

And this error text:

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is probably not loaded.
If you installed or VirtualBox OSE package recently you need to restart the computer for the driver to load.
Alternatively, you may attempt to load the driver by issuing the following command with system administrator (root) privileges:

'/etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules'

I try to run the command but it returns another error:

[emil@endor ~]$ sudo /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox-OSE.modules
[sudo] password for emil:
FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
FATAL: Module vboxnetflt not found.

can you help me?

Edit:
There's an error report here: http://pastebin.com/f1af03065

Check your repository. You haven't installed the modules package. The OSE version consists of several packages, which you have to install before you have a fully working install. Just open your graphical package manager and search for virtualbox-ose. You should have a packages called virtualbox-ose-modules.
