VB 1.6.2 with Opensuse 11?

[aghamemnun]

I just installed VB 1.6.2 colsed source version under Opensuse 11. When I want to start a VM I am told that the kernel driver module is not installed and that I have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup as root.
However, it does not work. I wonder if the reason is that I did not install the kernel module. Can anyone tell me if i suspect right and if so where to find a kernel module vor VB 1.6.2 and how to install it?

Have you checked the User Manual for dependencies like gcc, kernel-source etc? If no, do this please first. Ask again if errors stay. But then with exact Infos like Messages etc. So is nothing to say.

I actually have installed all necessary packages. Whenever I want to start the machine I get the message

------------------
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).

Running '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup does not help. The /var/log/vbox-install.log only reads:

/usr/share/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: line 99: make: command not found

No idea what this is to say, any help appreciated.

You miss the "make" utility. You can fix this by dropping to a terminal and entering:
"zypper ref && zypper in make"
(have to be root)

this should install the make utility.

I'm wondering, how did you install VirtualBox? There is no binary available?
