Centos 7 EFI + secure boot disabled issue

Post by Adonist »

Hi there,

We are using Centos 7 with EFI but with secure boot disabled.
Unfortunately when trying to run VirtualBox we are getting the following error:
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.10.0-957.21.2.el7.x86_64) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
When trying to run /sbin/vboxconfig as root we get the error:
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: You must sign these kernel modules before using VirtualBox:
vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp vboxpci
See the documenatation for your Linux distribution..
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.
There's nothing in dmesg that is useful.

Any ideas ? That's happening to a lot of machines.
