What is this all about? Are you using chroot or something out of the ordinary?

What happens if you modprob vboxdrv?

[simoala007]

/machines virtuelle/testVM is just a repertory that I created to put my VM on my disk mounted on /squid3

same error when i run from /home repertory .

when i run modprobe vboxdrv

:/var/spool/squid3$ modprobe vboxdrv
bash: modprobe: command not found

[Perryg]

Well I have no idea where you need to go from here. I would look at permission issues and whether or not the Install actually worked properly to begin with.
You know modprobe should be run elevated though right?

[simoala007]

when i run modprobe as sudo , got nothing:


:/home/machine/sc$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
[sudo] password :
:/home/machine/sc$

i am really stuck here, thanks anyway

[simoala007]

Do you think i have a problem with kernell ?

Does Virtual box has any pre requirement for debian version or kernell version ?

Thanks

[Perryg]

Is the host a server, meaning it does not have a DT?
Do you run this host as a normal user and do you have your own home under that user?
Is this a remote server and one you access with ssh, or some other remote program?

post the results of the following from the terminal as normal user ( the one that installed the host OS ).

• id
  uname -r
  cat /etc/issue
  cat /etc/debian_version
