VirtualBox

[redbook]

I am running virtualbox under opensuse 10.3

Each time I boot up I need to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

how do I get this to run automatically at boot.

This is what it does if it helps.

linux-dpph:~ # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module done
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module, NOT. It has been packaged. done
Starting VirtualBox kernel module done
linux-dpph:~ #

When you boot, run this command before anything else and post back

/sbin/lsmod |grep vboxdrv

After that run this command...you should not get any message but if you do post it back

sudo /sbin/modprobe vboxdrv

Thanks for that but I still have to do it all over again after reboot, how can I make the command permanent, ie load at boot.

Well I was just looking for the results of those commands , but it seems that the modlue is not loading. It doesn't need to be rebuilt, just loaded. In SUSE the best way to do this is to open YaST, go to /etc/sysconfig editor and add the value vboxdrv to System/Kernel/MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT

You just navigate the tree and enter that value, then restart.

Thanks.
Done that, then I noticed it had not started in system services (runlevel).
all ok now
thanks again.
