Post by Kasumi_Ninja » Thu Jun 07, 2007 3:20 pm

When I start a Virtual Machine I get this error:

Code: Select all

Unknown error initializing kernel driver (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).
VBox status code: -1912 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).


Result Code: 
0x80004005
Component: 
Console
Interface: 
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}
cat /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

Code: Select all

# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6:  kernel modules to load when system boots.
#
# Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels.
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line.  Comments begin with # and
# are ignored.  Read man modules.autoload for additional details.

# For example:
# aic7xxx
vboxdrv
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf

Code: Select all

default 0
timeout 5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux (2.6.18-gentoo-r6)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.18-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda3 nmi_watchdog=0
Any ideas what can be wrong?

Have you just upgraded from an earlier version? If so, and you haven't rebooted, you'll need to reload the kernel module to get the right version into the kernel.

Code: Select all

rmmod vboxdrv
modprobe vboxdrv

Rebooting? What is that? :lol: Thanks for your help. It worked!
