|

| 4 | Users of VirtualBox must be member of that group in order to have write
|
|---|
| 5 | permissions to /dev/vboxdrv. Otherwise starting of VMs will not be possible.

| 9 | Description: Compilation of the kernel module FAILED!
|
|---|
| 10 | VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult
|
|---|
| 11 | /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile.
|
|---|
| 12 | Most probably the kernel sources were not found. Install them and execute
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
|

| 21 | Description: Should the vboxdrv kernel module be compiled now?
|
|---|
| 22 | Unable to find a precompiled module for the current kernel!
|
|---|
| 23 | .
|
|---|
| 24 | Without a suitable kernel module you will never be able to start VMs. It is
|
|---|
| 25 | strongly recommended to compile a kernel module now. The kernel headers and
|
|---|
| 26 | the tools to build kernel modules (gcc, make, binutils, ...) are required.
|
|---|
| 27 | However, in case a suitable kernel module already exists at another place you
|
|---|
| 28 | might want to override the default position by setting KDIR=<full_path_to_vboxdrv_module>
|
|---|
| 29 | in /etc/default/virtualbox-ose. The compilation can also be done later by executing
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
|

|

|
|---|
| 39 | Old vboxdrv modules found. It is recommended to purge these modules as they might not
|
|---|
| 40 | work together with this version of VirtualBox. The module re-compilation can be
|
|---|
| 41 | forced later by executing
|
|---|
| 42 |
|

|

| 51 | You are about to update VirtualBox to a new upstream version. Make sure to discard or
|

| 52 | merge all snapshots and saved states before you proceed because VM states are version
|
|---|
| 53 | specific.
