VB on Mandriva total newb here

Post by richlespaul »

Ok new to Linux and Mandriva (2008)...
I'm trying to create an XP virtual box and get this error. I know this will be something simple but don't know where to start
Cherrs


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

IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}
