VirtualBox: cannot 'modprobe vboxdrv'

jeanluca · #1 24th December 2009, 08:46 PM

Hi All

I've followed the instruction from VirtualBox website:

Code:

$> rpm --import sun_vbox.asc
$> yum localinstall VirtualBox-3.1-3.1.2_56127_fedora12-1.i686.rpm -y

Now when I run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' I get:

Code:

Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                          [  OK  ]
Removing old VirtualBox netadp kernel module               [  OK  ]
Removing old VirtualBox netflt kernel module               [  OK  ]
Removing old VirtualBox kernel module                      [  OK  ]
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module                       [  OK  ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel module                          [FAILED]

dmes gives:

Code:

VirtualBox[1944]: segfault at 0 ip 007efab7 sp bfd36618 error 6 in libc-2.11.so[778000+16e000]

Any suggestions ?

thnx
LuCa

ps I'm running Fedora 12

try updating to the current glibc. Many fixes.

yum update glibc --enablerepo=updates-testing

Beteer yet, just do
yum update -enablerepo=updates-testing

I'm afraid the above command will give me more problems, these packages are in a testing stage!!
I did try that command for glibc which didn't fix my problem
