[vbox-dev] Vbox kernel driver permission problem

[Jaikumar G]

Folks,
   i have built the vbox build myself and have written a test frontend to
get familiar with the VBox SDK APIs. I built the kernel driver, installed
it, gave read and write access. I have given the setuid permission to the
frontend.

I still hit this error when launching the frontend. As mentioned above, the
setuid bit is set, the vbox driver was built and installed and has the
permissions.

VirtualBox kernel driver not accessible, permission problem. Re-install
VirtualBox. If you are building it yourself, you should make sure it
installed correctly and that the setuid bit is set on the executables
calling VMR3Create. (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_ACCESSIBLE)

I even tried 777 on the vbox driver and still no dice.

Any pointers on how to debug or what is missing ?

Thanks
