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
