PUEL 2.2 x64 on OpenSuse 11.1 x64 FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/mo.../vboxdrv.ko): Invalid module format

[dd]

if i try to install VirtualBox-2.2.0-45846-Linux_amd64.run on OpenSuSE 11.1 x64 the vboxdrv.ko seems to be invalid. i deinstalled all virtualbox components. checked if any vbox rpms are installed, removed any config files. removed any existing vboxdrv.ko files. rebooted the machine and tried the installation again. everytime the same error even if i do an /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Where do you have that DKMS package from? AFAIK, openSUSE does not come with DKMS? I just installed VBox 2.2.0 successfully on an up-to-date openSUSE 11.1 x86_64.

I will close this bug as duplicate of #3651. Please answer there.
