Hi
my virtualbox stopped working . When I launch an os in it say F27(fedora 27) it complains
Code:
The virtual machine 'F27' has terminated unexpectedly during startup because of signal 5.


I suspect it might be kernel configuration coz I installed docker yesterday and configured followed the advise on the gentoo page.

Any one to help

According to man 7 signal, signal 5 is SIGTRAP. This can happen if the program tried to trap to a debugger, but no debugger was present to catch the trap. If you suspect a kernel configuration change, why not reboot back to the kernel that lacks that change? What change(s) did you make? Exactly what page did you read?

Thanks for your response.
yeah
I think I have the same kernel 4.12.12
I uninstall the vm and reinstall a stable virtualbox . I have this error

Code:
 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
'/sbin/vboxconfig'
as root.
where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT.


I am trying to sort it out slowly.
Any idea is welcome

oh
How can I see if they are loaded or not . Just can not work. I think it s virtualbox problem . it still can not work whatever I do. I am now feeling like using an alternative when I need. The problem started when I configured the kernel and installed docker. :roll:
Code:

jules@grodos ~ $ VirtualBox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (4.12.12-gentoo) or it failed to
         load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by

           for m in vbox{drv,netadp,netflt}; do modprobe $m; done

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Qt WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile
^C
jules@grodos ~ $ su
Password:
grodos /home/jules # modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
grodos /home/jules # modprobe vboxnetadp
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetadp': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
grodos /home/jules # modprobe vboxnetflt
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxnetflt': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
grodos /home/jules #

I might have mixed lot of stuff

"Unknown symbol" is usually from upgrading your kernel without upgrading modules. (or similarly some sort of mismatch between the modules and the running kernel)

You can try "depmod -a" but I don't think it would help here much.

Use a virtualization product with in-kernel drivers, like Qemu.
