Description Jose Manuel López 2019-02-22 11:33:08 CET
After updating to Kernel 4.14.100 I can not enter the virtual machine that I have of Mageia 7 in VirtualBox. The following error appears:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
I have followed the instructions indicated, but it still does not work.

Hi Jose,

This is rather strange because my main computer is also running this kernel and my virtual machines (Mageia 7 beta, and also other distros) have not been affected by this new kernel.

$ uname -r
4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6

$ rpm -qa | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-kernel-4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6-5.2.24-4.mga6
virtualbox-kernel-4.14.89-desktop-1.mga6-5.2.24-1.mga6
virtualbox-doc-5.2.24-1.mga6
virtualbox-5.2.24-1.mga6
virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-5.2.24-4.mga6

What were the instructions you are referring to?

This is what appears to me:

$ uname -r
4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6

rpm -qa | grep virtualbox
virtualbox-kernel-4.14.89-desktop-1.mga6-5.2.24-1.mga6
virtualbox-5.2.24-1.mga6
virtualbox-doc-5.2.24-1.mga6

I have seen that the package virtualbox-kernel-4.14.100-desktop-1.mga6-5.2.24-4.mga6 was missing. I do not know why he has not
installed in the update.
After installing everything works correctly.

Thanks!!!!

Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

Glad I could help.
I would also recommend installing virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-5.2.24-4.mga6 : this is the package that will make your system download and install the newest virtualbox-kernel everytime a new kernel is available.
