Alas, while I can help you with sensible suggestions for installing VirtualBox - I've never used it so I can't comment on anything the application spits out... Just one question - what does "/sbin/lsmod | grep vboxdrv" say? (this is just to check that the VirtualBox kernel module *is* actually loaded - that's about as far as I can go) -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
