Virtual Box Errors <SOLVED>
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 2:44 pm
When I try to run Oracle's Virtualbox for 32bit LMDE, I get these error messages:
"Failed to open a session for the virtual machine My Win XP.
The virtual machine 'My Win XP' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1."
clicking the 'Details' show...
"Result Code:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component:
Machine
Interface:
IMachine {5eaa9319-62fc-4b0a-843c-0cb1940f8a91}"
Then this message appears
"Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary."
When I run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' command this is what appears.
"sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I added this to sources list file, per VB website.
deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian squeeze contrib non-free to download VB.
It seems it's not finding the kernel sources.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thnx.
