Got VirtualBox-i686 installed on a new install and updated Fedora-25 and it is telling me to ;

There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run /sbin/vboxconfig as root.

Below is the log file for vboxconfig, what is this log file saying ?

I have a kernel-4.9.13-200.fc25.i686 (plus a +PAE kernel) installed. It boots up on the kernel-4.9.13-200.fc25.i686

[root@localhost Downloads]# cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
Makefile:185: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

Make sure your system is up to date including the kernel headers and dkms are installed.

MichaelK Thanks for your help.
I found the dkms in repos, and had to also install kernel-devel to get it to all work.
Thanks again !!
