I had been installed VirtualBox 2.0 under OpenSUSE 11.0. But it had a problem when run it. It said that:
*“Virtual support driver which is running is from a different version of Virtualbox. you can correct this by stop all running instances of Virtualbox and reinstalling the software…”*I tried a lot of times to reinstall virtualbox. But it didn’t improve.
Please help me! If can, please show me the link to download all things neccessary to install successful Virtualbox 2.0 under OpenSUSE 11.0
go to yast > software management > repositories manager and Add comunity repositories ‘OpenSUSE BuildService-Virtualization(QEMU)’. Then update VirtualBox-ose module for your kernel type and try /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I uninstalled the virtualbox-ose through yast then went to the Virtualbox website and downloaded the Sun version. I recently updated to the 2.02 version by installing over the 1.6 version. It went in with no problems at all.

I got stopped on two local boxes trying to install the Sun 2.02 over an
existing 1.6.4 installation. I had to uninstall 1.6 before it would work
but once I wiped the existing 1.6 code 2.02 installed and picked up the
existing VMs with no problem.

…hmmm… now that its gone, I can’t check. But I seem to remember that I had 1.6.6 (if that even exists). If I did, maybe that made a difference. Anyway, I was glad the VMs showed up with no problems.

Roger that! I have this weird copy of XP Pro that I can only activate
something like 3 times so having a full backup of the .virtualbox directory
has saved me a lot of grief - just copy the whole directory over and go.
