When I try to launch, while running xfce under Fedora 16, I get an error box with suggestions, but they don't help.
[bttth@Hbsk3 ~]$ VirtualBox WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (3.2.2-1.fc16.x86_64) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

Becoming root, and running yum install dkms, is OK; but

So I go to that log
