hi,
seems which your machine don't have installed the kmod metapackage for
VirtualBox-OSE:
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-1.fc13.8.x86_64
try the following 2 steps:
yum reinstall kmod-VirtualBox-OSE
yum update
that will be install the kmod for the latest kernel if don't work use:
yum install kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64-3.2.6-1.fc13.8
to manually install the kmod for the current kernel as the today
if the two first steps works, always when update the kernel look if a
kmod for VirtualBox will be installed if isn't the case, wait one or two
days to update the kernel, the kmod lags sometimes.
regards,
Gabriel
