Dear all,

I have installed Oracle Linux 7.3 onto the Virtual Box.

I mounted the cdrom and tried to run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run.
Kindly assist. The following are the errors:

./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run

Can someone guide me what is the issue with the kernel version ? Any command to upgrade the kernel or install the kernel ? Any recommendations?

yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
Loaded plugins: ulninfo
No package kernel-headers-4.1.12-61.1.18.el7uek.x86_64 available.
Error: Nothing to do


Thanks,
