virtual box installation


i installed virtualbox on my fedora when am trying to add an image its showing me the error like belox how can i solve this problem please send me some procedures to solve this

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. Please reinstall 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

Hello,

You can solve this issue most likely by executing the command as indicated by the error message. As root run:
Code:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
If that doesn't work, check if the DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) package is installed in your Fedora (search with yum or rpm). In case it's not installed, install it and run the above command.

Kind regards,

Eric
