[solved] VirtualBox(Arch host, XP guest): Bridged Adapter

It's fairly easy to enable it in VirtualBox. But whenever I start the xp, VirtualBox gives me:

Failed to start the virtual machine XP.

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND).

My VirtualBox version is Version 3.1.4. And this is the first time I try it, so there should be no "older version" exists in my computer...

(I am trying to use it to connet to the vpn server in my department, the default NAT connection won't do it, that's why I need the bridged adapter).

I will really appreciate if anyone can help.

One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded.

Did you load the vbox modules ? In your /etc/rc.conf you shouls have in the MODULES line:

MODULES=(... vboxdrv vboxnetflt)

Also, in case of doubt, to rebuild the modules, execute on the command line:

vbox_build_module

Check that vboxnetflt is loaded if you have already put it in your modules line in rc.conf

lsmod | grep vbox

If not load it manually:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-ARCH/misc/vboxnetflt.ko

You can put this in your /etc/rc.local for a more permanent solution.

I know this is the old post, but I had the same problem.

Here is what you have to do if you use Kernel 4.1:

sudo insmod /lib/modules/4.1.6-1-ARCH/extramodules/vboxnetflt.ko.gz

Then please don't necrobump solved topics. You have been here long enough to know the rules.
