Hi, thanks for your help , In yours install demo here, you still miss the meta package kmod-VirtualBox-OSE, in this case kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686 the PAE one is kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-PAE-4.1.8-1.fc15.10.i686 I made some confusion because we built VirtualBox-OSE-kmod.spec, but at the end the arch rpms are all kmod-VirtualBox-OSE(...) so: Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag} I am testing it now with VirtualBox-OSE-guest and also it should requires meta package, for better sync with kernels with kmods. so add also to VirtualBox-OSE-guest ? Again, if nobody complains, tomorrow I will update packages with Requires: kmod-%{name} = %{version}%{?prereltag} Thanks, -- Sérgio M. B.
