Virtual Box Problems

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I installed Virtual Box using the rpm found at the virtualbox website. It installed OK, and I also installed dkms after installing VB. I set up VB, and then pressed start to run the Win XP install, and I got an error: 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' as root. SO, I tried executing the kernel module, but it failed, and pointed me to the log. The log file is attached, but I don't know enough to make sense of it. Any thoughts? Thx! Attached Files vbox-install.txt (2.8 KB) (HowTos)
