    Sun virtual box error (Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908

    I use Sabayon.
    I got this error message when I tried to start windows xp. I have got the same message on mandriva, and then it was just to install the DKMS package.
    But there are no such package on Sabayon, so the message tell me to execute "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup". But how do I do that?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    The kernel module is compiled and installed when you install VirtualBox. If you change your kernel you may need to reinstall VBox, though that has been fixed with recent versions (3.0 and later) of VBox.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    I have reinstalled it, and I have later Vbox version than 3.0. Still same problem
