FAILED to load virtual box kernel module in Fedora 9 final

[p3tzata]

Hi, I am with kernel 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64

and install VirtualBox-1.6.0_30421_fedora9-1.x86_64.rpm

and
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

 
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module        [  OK  ]
 Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module [FAILED]  
 (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

cat /var/log/vbox-install.log

   which: no dkms in (/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin) Makefile:127: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.

Thank you

Try removing vbox and reinstalling it with dkms support !

su
yum install dkms
rpm -e VirtualBox
rpm -i VirtualBox-1.6.0_30421_fedora9-1.x86_64.rpm
reboot

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

Building module:
cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 127)
make KERNELRELEASE=2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 -C /lib/modules/2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686/build M=/var/lib/dkms/vboxdrv/1.6.0/build....(bad exit status: 127)

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 (i686)
Consult the make.log in the build directory

DO YOU HAVE make INSTALLED???
[root@localhost ~]# dkms install -m vboxdrv -v 1.6.0 -k 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686

Error! Could not locate vboxdrv.ko for module vboxdrv in the DKMS tree.
You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686 (i686) first.

Ok this should fix it

su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
dkms build -m vboxdrv -v 1.6.0  -k 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686
dkms install -m vboxdrv -v 1.6.0  -k 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686

I recently encountered a similar issue...

I found that /lib/modules/2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686/build was a broken symbolic link. I had to relink it to /usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686

After I did that, everything worked.
