[vbox-dev] svn build and error: error initializing kernel driver (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).

[Jari Aalto]

Hi,

I've checked out the code from repository and successfully followed
the steps at

    http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux%20build%20instructions

The virtual hard disk was created and I attached an ISO image to
CD/DVD. After pressing "start", the following message appears:

    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}

This is under Debian / Kernel 2.6.18. Let me know how can I help to
resolve this.(*)

(*) I've recreated all multiple times, rm -rf ~/.Vir* etc. installed
kernel drive etc. Nothing helps.
