I'm in the process of switching to a new Lenovo X230 Thinkpad. I have installed Fedora 18. Upon trying to get VirtualBox running, I am receiving this error:
Followed by:Code:Failed to open a session for the virtual machine MS-7Prof. The virtual machine 'MS-7Prof' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1. Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005) Component: Machine Interface: IMachine {22781af3-1c96-4126-9edf-67a020e0e858}
Here is some other information:Code:RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912) The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.
I don't know what to do next on this?Code:mswallow-> sudo uname -r [sudo] password for mswallow: 3.8.3-203.fc18.x86_64 [~/Myfiles/Downloads/Virtualbox] mswallow-> sudo rpm -qa |grep VirtualBox VirtualBox-4.2-4.2.10_84104_fedora18-1.i686 [~/Myfiles/Downloads/Virtualbox] mswallow-> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ] Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[ OK ] Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ] [~/Myfiles/Downloads/Virtualbox] mswallow-> lsmod Module Size Used by vboxpci 23194 0 vboxnetadp 25670 0 vboxnetflt 23479 0 vboxdrv 296322 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci

I knew as soon as I posted this I would figure out some stupid thing I would have done. And I was right.
I discovered that I installed .686 instead of x86_64.
Anyway, solved and all is working.
