Yesterday I did a post on How to install virtualbox on Ubuntu 9.04 and run WindowsXP as virtual OS. However, today after I upgraded my Linux Kernel I realized that VirtualBox stopped working throwing the error saying Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908). Also, it was suggested by VirtualBox that installing DKMS package would solve theongrat issue. Let’s see how to correct the error and to make sure that this error doesn’t occur again in future. Following is the error I got:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Re-setup the kernel module by executing
‘/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup’
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
