Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!

This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.
Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel
for adding new hardware support to the system.
The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:
kernel-devel kernel-devel-3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run
/sbin/vboxconfig
as root. If your system is using EFI Secure Boot you may need to sign the
kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) before you can load
them. Please see your Linux system's documentation for more information.

Installed:
VirtualBox-6.1.x86_64 0:6.1.4_136177_el7-1

Complete!

What can I do to correct this problem? Is there a VBox update to cover this situation?

Thanks

Code: Select all

# yum update -y
# yum install kernel-devel -y
(reboot just in case).
