My OVB 5.1.24 is on OL7.1 .
While I am trying to install BVox guest Additions for my OVB 5.1.24 , I am getting this err:
Code: Select all
Vboxadd.sh:failed:modprobe vboxguest failed.
Note I have tried installing ..
Code: Select all
yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers
then
but still same issue.

I think we need an expansion on the TLAs; OVB, OL. Is it Oracle VirtualBox? and Oracle Linux?
And a copy of the "/var/logs/vboxadd-install.log". ZIPPED.
Moving to "Linux Guests" from "Linux Hosts", as this is not a problem with your host, but rather with your guest...

Everything looks fine. The "modprobe vboxguest failed" message is not important, it's a red herring, soon to be removed. Check the output of the two following commands to see if the GAs are successfully loaded:

It works as it should... But, keep in mind that 5.1.24 is... ancient.
Marking as [WorksForMe].
