Problems installing VirtualBox 5 on headless CentOS 7
Posted: 14. Jun 2016, 03:56
I attempting to install VirtualBox 5.0 on CentOS 7. I have googled for hours trying to resolve this with no luck.
On a clean install of CentOS 7:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... albox.repo
# yum update
# yum install binutils qt gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers kernel-devel dkms
# yum install VirtualBox-5.0
yum succeeded with no errors. however...
# service vboxdrv setup
and
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
both failed with:
Unknown operation 'vboxdrv.service'.
and
The service command supports only basic LSB actions (start, stop, restart, try-restart, reload, force-reload, status). For other actions, please try to use systemctl.
Next I tried:
# yum install epel-release
# yum --enablerepo=epel install dkms
# yum remove VirtualBox-5.0
# yum install VirtualBox-5.0
This time I get:
Does the latest version of VirtualBox (5.0.20_106931_el7-1) even run on the latest kernel (3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64)?

I still can't figure out how to run the setup script. What am I missing/doing wrong?[root@ne-r001-182cl yum.repos.d]# yum install VirtualBox-5.0
