Joe,

the subject line is apparently wrong. More comments below.

I compiled the kernel module:

cd out/linux.x86/release/bin/src
make
sudo make install

No problems with modprobe vboxdrv:
    
# lsmod | grep vbox
vboxdrv              1768311  0
      
root has read/write access:
    
# ls -l /dev/vboxdrv
crw------- 1 root root 10, 55 2010-05-28 15:10 /dev/vboxdrv
      
The module is installed:
    
# ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1915659 2010-05-31 00:12
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko
      
Any idea what's going on here to cause this problem?
    

Did you forget to load the modules?

  sudo depmod -a
  rmmod vboxnetadp
  rmmod vboxnetflt
  rmmod vboxdrv
  modprobe vboxdrv
  modprobe vboxnetflt
  modprobe vboxnetadp

Though you installed the modules to /lib/modules/... it is still
required that you load the new modules. Oh, and make sure that
there are not old vbox* modules left in your modules directory!

  
Sorry for the inaccurate title, I just Googled this error and got the error number. Unfortunately, the steps you have provided above do not get me any further. I did not have vboxnetflt or vboxnetadp loaded before, but even after modprobing them and even after rebooting the computer (i.e. grasping at straws) I'm still getting:

# ./VBoxHeadless
VBoxHeadless: Runtime Error:
 VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH -- The installed support driver doesn't match the version of the user.

I'm also noticing the following being printed to /var/log/messages, which I should have included before:

May 31 04:22:01 epistaxis kernel: [ 1990.398296] VBoxDrv: dbg - g_abExecMemory=ffffffffa0f3aa20

The last line is output each time I attempt to invoke VBoxHeadless.

I most definitely have the latest modules installed.


Kind regards,

Frank
