Lately after upgrade Ubuntu kernel VMs can't start. $ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup ... * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module * done. * Removing old VirtualBox netadp kernel module * done. * Removing old VirtualBox netflt kernel module * done. * Removing old VirtualBox kernel module * done. * Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module * done. * Starting VirtualBox kernel module * modprobe vboxnetflt failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why modprobe can't find vboxnetflt. I have to run; insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/updates/dkms/vboxnetflt.ko to fix the problem. VMs can start. However after reboot I have to run above command again. To solve the problem I add it to; $ cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh -e # # rc.local ..... insmod /lib/modules/2.6.31-21-generic/updates/dkms/vboxnetflt.ko Afterwards I found another problem "copy and paste" fails to work.

To wit: $ VBox WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (2.6.34-rc6.fc12.i686) or it failed to load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
