Virtualbox error - Kernel Driver not installed

English Applications
#1

Hello,

I’m new to Linux, but already learned a lot of it from the web.
I managed to install Virtualbox on my opensuse 11.2
I configured it for a windows xp guest OS.
When I start the guest OS, I get error mesages.

[http://www.alainjanquart.be/error/Screenshot-VirtualBox - Error.png](http://www.alainjanquart.be/error/Screenshot-VirtualBox - Error.png)

When I execute the command “/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup” it failed.
I checked the directory and saw that the file vboxdrv is missing.

Can someone help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance

become su -

and do:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Become su in Terminal - HowTo

#3

I already tried that.
This is the result : http://www.alainjanquart.be/error/Screenshot-alain@BASICIMAGE:~.png
And this is the log file : http://www.alainjanquart.be/error/vbox-install.log

But that’s it. My knowledge does not reach far enough to go further.

Put the contents of
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

in pastebin and link us to it

cat /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
will show the contents in a terminal

I hope I did this correct : Link

You did it right but I gave you the wrong location. Here, sorry

cat /var/log/vbox-install.log

#7

Here is the new link

#8

Please post result of:

rpm -qi kernel-source make gcc

and

zypper lu

uname -a
#9

Here is the result of what you asked for : Link

#10

su terminal

zypper in kernel-source

try again with vbox

This works fine now.

Thanks you very much for your help.

Good news
Thanks for getting back to let us know

Thank you for your help on this. I had to remove the open-SUSE completely to get this to compile. I would not have completed this without your help. Thank you again.

Maybe I’m too late, but I solved my problem with Virtualbox with the information at Virtual Box (Sun Version) Install HowTo

Excellent news!

For some reason I installed this today. (Ok been chomping at the bit to try LMDE)
I had to:
install vbox download
run:sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
then reinstalled vbox download
then ran modprobe vboxdrv
reboot
To get rid of the error and failed building the kernel modules
"modprobe vboxnetflt failed. Please use ‘dmesg’ to find out why"
For some reason unknown to me it wouldn’t build without the reinstall step. I did try the prescribed methods first a couple times.
Now runs as advertised :slight_smile:
Updating my VBox LMDE installs 390 packages…

The issue I found is you have to completly remove openSUSE Vbox and then try the complie. If you have any part, then it will not compile and error out. this is what I found and had to solve.

Hey,

I’m new in this forum (sorry if it’s not the right place to add a new thread).

I’m a beginner concerning virtual box (from Linux_Downloads - VirtualBox) installed on Opensuse 11.2 (uname -r: 2.6.31.5-0.1-default as kernel).
I ve read the information concerning the installation and installed the required files (make, gcc…) and kernel updates…
But I still get the same log error and i don’t now why my “kernel configuration is invalid”(see log) . How can i fix it?
Could you help me please?
