When I try to run my XP virtual machine, Virtualbox displays the following message: VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED). Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45} Then I run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in terminal, which results in the following: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Password: * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv [ OK ] * Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv * Look at /var/lib/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong The I looked at the log, which stated: Makefile:73: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop. And from the I don't know what to do, because I didn't have to run make before as I installed it from precompiled binaries. Could anyone explain me step by step or is easier to just reinstall Virtualbox and set up XP from the ground up again, which takes a whole lot of time? Thanks.
How exactly did you install VirtualBox? Which distribution do you use? Did you take a look at this tutorial? http://www.howtoforge.com/virtualbox_ubuntu
That is the exact tutorial I used. But never mind the problem, I already reinstalled Virtualbox and it now works fine. Thanks anyway
