Dear Fedorians,
I'm a new user of fedora 13 and I use a virtualbox installation on it.
Unfortunately the last two kernel upgrades (2.6.34.6-54 and 2.6.34.7-56)
didn't correspond to an upgrade of the kernel modules necessary by
virtualbox (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, and vboxnetadp); this impedes the
normal behavior of virtualbox.
Running yum update I simply get the message that everything is up to
date.
dkms is installed and running and also the virtualbox repository is
installed (it comes from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads).
The installed packages are:
kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64-3.2.6-1.fc13.5.x86_64
VirtualBox-OSE-3.2.6-2.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.34.6-54.fc13.x86_64
kernel-devel-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
kernel-headers-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64
dkms-2.1.0.1-1.fc12.noarch
I'm keeping all these kernels since in the older one virtualbox is
working
what I'm doing wrong?
thanks for the help
Walter

you perfectly got the sign, kmod-VirtualBox-OSE wasn't installed once
installed everything is back at work as previously

Try
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
If that works, then chkconfig has forgotten about VirtualBox, so
chkconfig --add vboxdrv

Did you try running "service vboxdrv setup"? That should cause it to

this is also my case but if you update the kernel it is not working
anymore since it doesn't recreate the modules.

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

Do you have the dkms package installed on your system? With it a new vbox kernel module
should automatically be rebuilt when the kernel is updated. I have it installed on my
Fedora 12 64-bit system and it works just fine. Of course, you'll need to have gcc,
kernel-headers, includes, etc. for it to work.
This may help:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch02.html#id2649309
Also, installing the VirtualBox repo will help, too, but it's not necessary. I have

VirtualBox is not Fedora software.
Please post your message on the RPMFusion mailing list[1].
Off-topic: The problem is because you are using a kmod, which does not
automatically update when you update the kernel. This is a problem with
kmod. Tell RPMFusion to switch away from kmod/akmod completely and use DKMS.

Try removing the OSE edition and installing from the Oracle repo.

I'm available to change to cisco version as well, do you have a yum

For what its worth, I'm running 2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64 with
upstream
(i.e. cisco repository, not the OSE version) virtualbox with dkms - and
have no problems whatsoever.
I'm available to change to cisco version as well, do you have a yum
