Hello
I don't know what I did to get this problem but I am not able to open the guest OS windows xp. Everytime I try to start the OS I get an error:
Code: Select all
VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).
Result Code: 0x80004005
Component: Console
Interface: IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}
I enter sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in terminal (I also tried to run it through root terminal) but I get this:
Code: Select all
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel module
* done.
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong
I then runt gedit /var/log/vbox-install.log
and there is only one line in saying this:
Code: Select all
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 311: /usr/lib/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: not found
Could anyone help me please I am stuck :\
I am running Sun xVM VirtualBox (graphical interface) version 1.6.0 on Ubuntu 8.04. My guest OS is Windows XP Professional.
SOLVED

I reonfigured virtualbox and now it seems to work!
Sorry for posting a new topic that soon. I should look around in this forum a bit more

I had a similar (if not the same) problem, but a reconfigure hasn't done it for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled it and the output looks something like this (including trying to install the modules and run the app.)
