VirtualBox 4.2.0 r80737 seems to install fine here. Which version of Solaris 10 is this? Could you please paste the output of: 

uname -a
cat /etc/release

comment:3 by bernievb, 12 years ago

I was attempting to install VirtualBox-4.2.0-SunOS-r80737.pkg on

cobra $ uname -a SunOS cobra 5.10 Generic_147441-01 i86pc i386 i86pc

cobra $ cat /etc/release

Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86

Assembled 23 August 2011

It did install and run fine on a Solaris 11 11/11 system.

Log snippet shows an attempt to load module 'misc/dtrace' for the missing dtrace symbols. Running ldd on vboxdrv module shows dependencies on 'misc/ctf' and 'misc/dtrace', which appear to be added in the makefile at https://www.virtualbox.org/browser/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/Makefile.kmk (around line 300). On the Solaris 11 and OpenIndiana systems I looked at (both of which happen to be working with VirtualBox), the dtrace module defining the symbols in the log file appears to be at /kernel/drv/dtrace ('drv/dtrace' rather than 'misc/dtrace'), while module ctf is at /kernel/misc/ctf (as defined). Could the path mismatch in the dependency be introducing a sensitivity to module load order (if dtrace already loaded, success, else try to load dtrace from misc/dtrace, failure)? A similar issue was reported against OpenIndiana, ​https://www.illumos.org/issues/3207

This problem has been resolved with 4.2.2.
