Hi ppl...

I just installed VirtualBox on Fedora14. It doesn't work.
So, first of all, I decided I'd try running Win98 on it. Just to see if it works.

Adding a new VM was no problem. But as soon as I press start, I get this error message. See the attachment titled error.png. I tried running the vboxdrv setup and the dkms thing, but that failed. See error1.png. What's the problem here? Why isn't it working?

Edit: Yaaay! 100th post!! :yeah:

You do not have the necessary packages to compile a new kernel module. I would try a "yum install kernel-devel" first.

ok, i'll try that as soon as I have access to my machine.....

Edit: Tried that, but it says it's already the latest version.
why can't it ever work on the first try?
