I have downloaded VirtualBox-1.5.2_25433_mdv2007.1-1.i586.rpm from the VB
website, and installed it.
trying to start VB in a Konsole I get :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ron]$ VirtualBox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no
module
available for the current kernel (2.6.17-13mdv) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
WARNING: The compilation of the vboxdrv.ko kernel module failed during
the
installation for some reason. Starting a VM will not be possible.
Please consult the User Manual for build instructions.
As I dont sudo (Ubuntu ?) I did su to root, and ran as prescribed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/ron # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module [ OK ]
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module [FAILED]
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
Now what is this "compiling" stuff ?
I always thought that the point of binaries tailored to a distribution were to
avoid all the problems attendant to compliation..
???????
Now I look in /var/log and find:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ron # cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
Makefile:76: *** Error: /usr/src/linux (version 2.6.17-13mdvcustom)
does not
match the current kernel (version 2.6.17-13mdv). Stop.
This in a bog-standard install of MDV 2007.1
Is there something wrong with the .rpm ?.
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers,
Ron.
