Its extremely dangerous, to remove the kernel your using and then reinstall it, not to be recommended. If you must remove the kernel. install another version kernel, then when booted in to the new kernel re-download the kernel you've removed, and bootup using that kernel then install the innotek rpm. Its crazy to have two different kernel modules with the same name ie. vboxdrv There's no need to do it as the module distributed with the non OSE version could be called anything. There is no need for it to be called vboxdrv. Its as ludicrous as having two identical dollar bills , but one is only worth 25 cents. -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Registered Linux User 365161 OS Mandriva 2008.0 Kernel 2.6.23.1-1mdv HAM Callsign G8JVM : Locator IO82SP QRV all bands 80mtrs to 3 cms ,( non WARC ) http://www.software-radio.org.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
