	When I try to launch, while running xfce under Fedora 16, I get 
an error box with suggestions, but they don't help.

[bttth at 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.

	[and so on till I hit ^C]

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

 [root at Hbsk3 ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

	So I go to that log

	All of that is way over my head. So what now??

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
