    VirtualMachine problem

    Hi guys,
    Since my VM is not running well because of a problem I'm having a hard time understanding this since this words are to complicated for my 12 year old mind please help me step by step in understanding this. This is what it says.

    thanks in advance


    Code:
    Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

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

    First, let us know what distribution+version of Linux you are running. Next, how did you install VirtualBox? Please be specific. Thanks.

    FYI I was able to make it work by doing a fresh install.
