VirtualBox 2.1.2 installation fails (no symbol version for SUPDrvLinuxIDC)

[Volker Bause]

Tried Upgrading, Un-installing and then Re-Installing Virtualbox 2.1.2 on OpenSUSE 11.1 x86_64. Installing VirtualBox 2.1.0 works flawlessly before and after.

The installation is done from KDE4 Terminal using su. I also tried logging in as root which does the same.

De-Installation and Re-Installation is as follows:
==================================================
linux-fa23:/setups # rpm -ivh VirtualBox-2.1.2_41885_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:VirtualBox             ########################################### [100%]

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!

Please execute

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

This should fix the kernel modules.
