Hey,

where can I find the VB Kernel Driver for kernel 3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64? Yum upgraded my kernel, but cannot find the newest virtualbox kernel drivers, so virtualbox fails during start up of a virtual machine. I use the virtualbox repository on Fedora 20.

Edit: Output from

rpm -qa kernel\* ; uname -r
kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-headers-3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64
kernel-3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64
kernel-devel-3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64
3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64

Thanks :)

Do you have dkms installed? If not do so by sudo yum install dkms. After that run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.

DKMS automatically builds module when a new kernel is installed. Everything should be fine after that. You are using virtualbox.org repo, correct?

I installed dkms and it worked again like a charm. Thanks to all!

Hi, if you use VirtualBox from rpmfusion, sometimes we got a little delay on updates , you could enable repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing

yum --enablerepo=rpmfusion-free-updates-testing update

Also you should have kmod-VirtualBox installed (metapackage which tracks in VirtualBox kernel module for newest kernel) , which just let you install kernel when kmod is available .

yum install kmod-VirtualBox

I don't know about VB drivers but I do know that you need kernel-devel equal to the running kernel. Since your kernel was just updated perhaps kernel-devel needs to be installed? Post

rpm -qa kernel\* ; uname -r

@Glenn: I've updated my question with the output

Can you run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup? It may not be available since you're using the Fedora version of VirtualBox. If there is a kernel update everything needs to be rebuilt. With the VirtualBox rpm from Oracle you never need to deal with this if you install akmod-VirtualBox.

Glenn ( 2014-01-19 18:37:43 -0600 )edit

Looks to me like you haven't rebooted to the newest kernel. You need to do that.

Glenn ( 2014-01-20 02:52:07 -0600 )edit

FWIW, if you use the upstream rpm (not the one from rpmfusion repos) you don't need akmod-VirtualBox, the upstream rpm uses DKMS to build the kernel module(s) for the currently running kernel; when a new kernel is installed the module is rebuilt for it automatically IIUC.
