Hi,

I am unable to open VMs in virtualbox with fedora22.

**>> VBoxManage --version

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (4.0.4-303.fc22.x8enter code here6_64) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed. 4.3.28r100309

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]

Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [FAILED]

(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

--->cat /var/log/vbox-install.log

Makefile:183: * Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.*

Can anyone help me how to resolve this.

Thanks in advance. :)

Has there been a kernel update for you? This is typical behavior if there has been a kernel update and you've rebooted. If so, and you've booted into that new kernel, you need to install kernel-devel for that new kernel and then run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup.

Thanks a ton!!! It worked! I installed kernel-devel with sudo dnf install "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)"

Try to Disable "Secure Boot Option" in Bios Setting and then try following command

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
