Description

After a recent update to hardy heron (26 May 2008) which included a kernel update. Virtual box ceased to run a VM and produced a kernel module error. The Error message:

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Re-setup the kernel module by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root. VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code: 0x80004005 Component: Console Interface: IConsole {d5a1cbda-f5d7-4824-9afe-d640c94c7dcf}

After running the suggested command to resolve the issue. The output log contained only the following line:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 311: /usr/lib/virtualbox/src/build_in_tmp: not found

Which package did you install? It seems that you mixed some packages. You should find a file /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg which is not supposed to be there if you installed the .deb package from our website. Removing this file helps.

Or better remove the previous installation of a VirtualBox.run package first (VirtualBox.run uinstall).

I confirm this bug. I too confirm that removing /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg fix the problem. As a note, I install virtualbox-ose from ubuntu hardy repository once before removing it and download the version from sun's site.

Confirmed too - after this mornings Ubuntu (7.1/x64) updates I got stuck in the same situation. Removing /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg fixed my problem as well.

Version 1.6.2 will contain a check which refuses to install the package if /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg was found.

I can also confirm the bug and that deleting /etc/vbox/vbox.cfg and then running the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup command afterwards clears up the problem.
