    virtual box not starting

    hi , i had installed virtual box in fedora 12,
    from
    VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.10_66523_fedora12-1.i686.rpm
    ************************************************** *********************************************

    but after configuring everything , its says


    Kernel driver not installed (rc=-190

    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

    '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

    as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.


    ************************************************** ******************************************

    i executed this command but it said


    Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [ OK ]
    Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules [ OK ]
    Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS[FAILED]
    (Failed, trying without DKMS)
    Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [FAILED]
    (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
    ************************************************** **************************************
    i couldnt make out what to do,please help..................................

    Please post the contents of /var/log/vbox-install.log here. And are you running FC12 in 32-bit, or 64-bit mode? If 64-bits, then you need the x86_64 version of VirtualBox.

    One other thing - if you have enabled kvm or xen on your system, then VirtualBox won't install either.

    It sounds like you haven't installed the linux development headers that vbox needs to build the kernel module. You need to be sure that you have the following packages installed (using yum) on your system:

    kernel-headers
    kernel-devel
