Virtual box error with kernel driver not installed

Asked By Earl J Peace 0 points N/A Posted on - 08/11/2014

Hi,

First of all the list of supported distributions became longer: Mandriva and RHEL are supported now. Second, the kernel module handling was improved. If the kernel module is not loaded you can still start the GUI, which was previously not possible. Starting a virtual machine will bring up an error message. Can anyone help me please to fix this ?

Thanks !
