Hi =D, i'm having some issues when i'm trying to install virtualbox on Centos 6.5.

This is the error i get:

# sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

this is my uname -r kernel:

This is my /var/log/vbox-install.log:

I've alredy tryed all bug fix i find on the interent =/ Please anyone know how to fix it ?

Did you install the headers for the running kernel?

i think i did, but i just use

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers.x86_64

Result:

Code: Select all

# yum install kernel-headers.x86_64

They don't match

It looks like you have installed a new kernel but are booting to the older kernel. In any case you must get them to match before it will work.

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Should do it if the repo has the proper headers. You might also need kernel-devel not sure about centos or make sure you are actually booting to the 504.8.1 kernel.

i got this:

Code: Select all

# yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit

No package kernel-headers-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64 available.
Error: Nothing to do

BTW, thanks for helping =D

And do you see a new kernel at the boot screen to choose from?

No, because it is a VPS.

i got all these kernels =/

Code: Select all

#rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-431.11.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.3.3.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-504.8.1.el6.x86_64

It clearly shows you have the kernel-2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1el6.x86_64 kernel so you need to boot into it. Anyway this is an issue you need to take up with the provider and or the centos group.
