Thanks Frank! Let me try to give you the text of the error message from memory, since I won't be back at that machine for several hours.
1. On attempting to start a VM (power on), the prompts tell me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup 2. When I do that, the prompt tells me that vboxdrv is already running. 3. When I run ps aux | grep VBoxSVC (or VB*, or vb*) no running process appears except grep. 4. I cannot find a line in the log which says either "failure" or "error," but there may be something named in another way. 5. I can run another recompile and look carefully at the log as it rolls by to see if there is indeed some kind of failure in compilation that I have missed. Oddly, though, the control screen comes up just fine. Let me ask a question that is backing up a bit--are there installations running on Fedora 7? Or is it possible that the raw newness of the Fedora releases always builds in features that software developers cannot easily trace or debug?
