Well I hope I can get this one figured out, I have been stumped for a while. I have been having some problems with virtualbox starting. So here is the issue:
When I start a VM I get the following:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
So I do just that, and the results are:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules done
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules done
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS failed
(Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules failed (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
So I check to see if I have the proper packages in stalled using this:
j # uname -a
Linux js-lnx 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-12-13 11:13:53 +0100 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
1010.751683] warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)
1077.099036] usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
2112.102023] usb 1-3: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2
I am seeing quite a few entries about the usb. I am not sure if that is common or if its unrelated. I am running x86 11.3, and virtualbox 4.0.4 I have tried to uninstall, and even go back to 3.2 but I still get the same problems any way I try. thanks

I just dont know what that means. The only thing that I have noticed was this:
test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \
echo; \
/bin/false)

Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `2’ implies
to me that maybe the package is corrupt. Were you installing from a
repo, or did you download from Oracle’s site or what?
I’d download a new package, and check the md5 sum
Do you have the virtualbox repo in your repo list?

You’re on openSUSE 11.3, right? What version of binutils is installed
(rpm -q binutils)
Mine’s binutils-2.20.0-6.10.i586, although I haven’t tried compiling the
latest virtualbox.
Just noticed this in your output from the build log:
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to
fix it."; \
I’m a little out of my depth here, but you might try running that
command. Backup your system - lots of room for shooting oneself in the
foot with kernel stuff. Hopefully someone wiser than I will chime in on
more specifics on that…

Bogus. Hopefully someone else will have an idea. I’m stumped…

Down load the generic version from Vbox site and compile it you will need gcc +Kernel-source for your tunning kernel. But first uninstall the stuff you have.
