No network after installing VirtualBox (I think!)
 

Hi,

I'm on a fairly fresh install of Fedora 21.


I used yum to install VirtualBox, actually kmod-VirtualBox and kmod-VirtualBox-3.18.7-200.fc21.x86_64

* I believe the network still worked at this point, because after starting VBox it through an error box when staring the image. Which lead me to research something and then I entered the following command:

The command didn't give any error output.

I soon noticed hereafter that I had no network!

On boot msgs there is no error, but still no network.


I ran the following to see:

I can boot Fedora using the last kernel through Grub, and if I run again I get:
I've since removed and cleaned through yum, still no network (and any other services I may be missing)


Am I identifying the right issue and er, any suggestions / solution please?

Wild guess is that Virtualbox and your kernel need to work together.

Why did you select kmod?

off the cuff, kmod means kernel module; therefore, maybe

'lsmod | grep vbox'
then 'rmmod' each result.

Yes, hence why I tried uninstalling it.

The kmod package is a dependency!

All vbox stuff was removed, however somehow there's an issue on boot concerning loading kernel modules, how do I identify the issue?

maybe check the standard old /var/log/messages to find th emodule, then use lsmod/rmmod to list/remove.
