Description
I tried installing the rpm for Fedora Core 6 from the VirtualBox webpage without any success! This is the output of /var/log/vbox-install.log after I do /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, which fails:

I read somewhere it's impossible to install VirtualBox for newer kernels unless one has a compiled bare kernel with all default options enabled. That's what 'make oldconfig' is probably saying. Is this a bug?

Replying to frank:
Hmm, strange. Did you change anything in /usr/src/kernels?
I don't think so. I am using this kernel for two weeks or so. And as for the kernel-devel files I just installed them before trying to install VirtualBox so I have only this inside /usr/src/kernels:
[arnab@mobile164-105 kernels]$ ls -l total 4 drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 Nov 13 00:36 2.6.22.9-61.fc6-i686
Is i686 a problem? Probably the VirtualBox version I am trying to install is for i386/i586? On the other hand someone in the forums solved a similar problem: http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=1493
I don't understand why a bare kernel would be necessary.
Thanks for all your responses.
