What is the exact error message? vboxdrv not accessible or wrong version? > I am instructed to run the setup operation, but get this response when I > do: > > [root at bach <http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users> lnitz]# > /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel module ERROR: Module > vboxdrv is in use > [FAILED] > (Cannot unload module vboxdrv) > [root at bach <http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users> lnitz]# > > The installation must have been corrupted.

Then make sure that no instance of VBoxSVC is running anymore: /bin/ps aux|grep VBoxSVC should not show any running process named VBoxSVC. Otherwise kill that process. Now you should be really able to execute /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Is the compilation of the module successful? If not, have a look at /var/log/vbox-install.log Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
