Hi guys , Im trying to run a 64 bits iso windows 7 image on my arch box.
I installed the package as wiki recomends:
pacman -S virtualbox
After that, run virtualbox, and run my created virtual machine, but received following message:
" 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 "
I did
modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'vboxdrv': Exec format error
So I did:
pacman -S virtualbox-host-modules
but din`t work either.
Then I tryed to compile a new module using the:
dkms install vboxhost/$(pacman -Q virtualbox|awk {'print $2'}|sed 's/\-.\+//') -k $(uname -rm|sed 's/\ /\//')
but it can not find my kernel header files,
I was trying to make a link to the directories where it is searching...
BUT I can not find my kernell header files enywhere.
my /usr/src/linux-3.9.4-1-ARCH is empty.
What should I do ?? I tryed to download the header but could not find the same version, my kernel is 3.9.4-1-ARCH
Any help would be preciated,
Thanks.
Leo.

I think you should be using linux-headers & linux 3.10.2-1. Update your system, reboot and see if it works.

You can download the host modules precompiled for the official arch kernel. Why in the world you have a leftover or active 3.9.4 dir I do not know. Is your mirror up to date?

karol , what do you mean with "update your system"
should I update my kernel ?
should I update my mirrors ?
should I update my aplications ?
How should I do for each ?

Why are you not sure? Both the man page and 'pacman -Sh' clearly say what you have to do to upgrade installed packages.
This is really basic stuff, it's covered in the wiki too.

I would like to mark this post as SOLVED ... how to do ?
