Do you have vboxdrv in your kernel? My kernel has the module build, |
| 25 |
as evidenced by command 'locate vboxdrv' displaying: |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
/lib64/modules/2.6.28-gentoo-r5-xfs/misc/vboxdrv.ko |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I'm don't know which kernel option creates vboxdrv, but google surely |
| 30 |
knows :-> |
