Virtual Box... [Solved]

Just updated my 64 bit arch to the latest everything. I have virtualbox_bin installed. I ran vbox_build_module as root. When I try to run my xp virtual machine i get this error:

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

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup doesn't work. Hence this post. I feel like i've fixed this problem before maybe, but searching around the net hasn't helped much nor has my memory been jogged. Ubuntu Forums: uninstall, reinstall

i have virtual box installed in /opt

Thanks in advance.

PS. "jog your memory" is a really weird phrase...

Re: Virtual Box... [Solved]

Do you have the VirtualBox module [vboxdrv] and it's Ethernet filter [vboxnetflt] added to your MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf?

Re: Virtual Box... [Solved]

If you do a:

#lsmod | grep vboxdrv
#lsmod | grep vboxnetflt

after you start up your computer, do you see them listed?

PS. The phrase 'jog my memory' does sound kind of weird. Like my brain needs to get out and run some laps to remember these things

Re: Virtual Box... [Solved]

Just updated my 64 bit arch to the latest everything. I have virtualbox_bin installed. I ran vbox_build_module as root.

When i did:
lsmod | grep vboxdrv
lsmod | grep vboxnetflt

vboxdrv showed up and vboxnetflt did not, so i did modprobe vboxnetflt and it worked. Restarting probably would have worked as well.... maybe i should restart my computer more often...><

Thanks everyone. I'm feelling a bit dumb right now...I needed to use windows xp to do some japanese homework before my class at 1pm.

is there a way to automate these steps in the future so i don't have to run vbox_build_module and restart vboxdrv and vboxnetflt everytime i update the kernel?

This helped fix other problems I had with vbox. Thanks.
