Here is the complete error message :

1)


 
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.




2)


[root at localhost init.d]# ./vboxdrv setup

  (modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why)

When I ran 'dmesg', this is what I saw that is related to virtualbox :


[  169.857137] warning: `VirtualBox' uses 32-bit capabilities (legacy support in use)





 

 -Owen



 
Run
yum reinstall kernel-devel kernel-headers dkms -y && service vboxdrv setup

to verify
service vboxdrv status && ls -l /lib/modules/3.1*/extra

cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
