Description Javier Díaz 2018-10-16 17:40:03 CEST 
Description of problem:
When updating kernel to kernel-desktop-4.18.12-1.mga6-1-1.mga6, virtualbox stops working.

The following error appears:

======================
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

'/sbin/vboxconfig'

as root.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT
=======================

It seems version of kernel set as dependency in kernel-desktop-latest and virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest are not the same and virtualbox-kernel package for last kernel is missing.

These are the packages installed through dependencies in my computer:
# rpmquery -a |grep kernel |sort
kernel-desktop-4.14.70-2.mga6-1-1.mga6
kernel-desktop-4.18.12-1.mga6-1-1.mga6
kernel-desktop-latest-4.18.12-1.mga6
kernel-firmware-20170531-1.mga6
kernel-firmware-nonfree-20180606-1.mga6.nonfree
kernel-userspace-headers-4.14.70-2.mga6
virtualbox-kernel-4.14.70-desktop-2.mga6-5.2.18-6.mga6
virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-5.2.18-6.mga6

Fortunately, when booting with 4.14.70-2 kernel, virtualbox works ok.

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2018-10-16 21:08:08 CEST 
We dont provide prebuilt kmods for backport kernels, so you need to install the matching kernel-desktop-devel and dkms-virtualbox and for it to work

Thank you, using dkms-virtualbox it works
