I have installed virtualbox RPM i386 on my fedora 11.
When I am trying to install instance its throwing error.
I tried running vboxdrv service but it says:

[root@localhost ~]# service vboxdrv restart
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module [ OK ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel module [FAILED]
(modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why)

Any idea whats going on?

What is the output from dmesg? What is in the /var/log/* files for the time when you did the service vboxdrv restart? Probably only one or two of the files have anything relevant but I don't know which; use /bin/ls -lrt /var/log immediately after the last error message to identify which ones changed at that time.
