Ok, so after a fresh install:
yum install dkms kernel-devel
sync
sync
sync
reboot
wget "http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo" -O /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O oracle_vbox.asc
rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
rm oracle_vbox.asc
yum update
yum install VirtualBox-3.2
And here comes the part, thats not 100%
# service vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel
modules using DKMS

# ls /usr/src/kernels/

!! -> so the
"/usr/src/kernels/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.PAE" is MISSING!
Where can i download it?
p.s.: I recently installed the PAE kernel by:
yum install kernel-PAE

Good evening list! :)
I'm searching for two answers regarding two questions. [and there are two "P.S."'s]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1: How can i list all the available kernel modules?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2: I want to install VirtualBox on Fedora 14 [->how could i download the kernel source?]:
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O oracle_vbox.asc
rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc
rm oracle_vbox.asc virtualbox.rpm

Everything OK so far...
You're making things hard on yourself. Follow this link[1] and setup the yum repository. Then installing is as simple as:
# yum install VirtualBox-3.2
The other packages you need is the kernel headers (not the whole source) and dkms (dynamic kernel module support), i.e.:
# yum install kernel-devel dkms
And then,
the fun part:
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup |
Try "service vboxdrv setup" instead. Not really the problem but from what I've read it's a more appropriate method.
You don't want to just download it, you want to install it. But as I said, you don't need the whole source, just the headers which is provided by the kernel-devel package.
Thank you in advance! :\ [sorry, i'm a beginner in Fedora :\ ] |
No problem!
Richard
