[Solved] VirtualBox Problem

hi

i removed virtualbox4 and installed virtualbox4.2

its work but i reboot my system when i try to log into virtual Os i got this error

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

'pacman -S virtualbox-modules'

as root. If you don't use our stock kernel, install virtualbox-host-source andexecute dkms autoinstall

so like every time i open the terminal and type [modprobe vboxdrv]

[root@UNS programmer]# modprobe vboxdrv
ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error

i got this error

i don't have this

[root@UNS programmer]# /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup
bash: /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv: No such file or directory

i search in pacman database for virtualbox-mudols

[root@UNS programmer]# pacman -Ss virtualbox

I've had something like this this morning, and I did not wanted to bother too much to find what is wrong, so I've done the following:

Refresh your whole system with:

pacman -Syyu

Then, (re)install virtualbox and its drivers:

pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules

Add your user to the virtualbox group (as root):

gpasswd -a yourusername vboxusers

create a file named (for example) "/etc/modules-load.d/vbox.conf" with the following content:

#my vbox modules loaded on system startup
vboxdrv
vboxnetadp
vboxnetflt

and reboot.

This should do it.

Please use [ code ] tags when posting code. It's easier to read this way.

How, specifically, did you do that?

Also, please post the output of
uname -a
ls /lib/modules
and of
pacman -Qi virtualbox

Hi Brad Arch.

Welcome to Arch Linux.
Did Scar's setup help? If not, please post the output from the commands I gave in post #4. Also, what OS is the host, and what OS is the guest?

Arch Linux
