So please could you provide some more information? That is, which distribution are you using and to which directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build points to? The logfile /var/log/vbox-install.log would also be helpful (when compilation of vboxdrv against the current kernel fails of course). You could send the log file via private E-mail to frank at innotek.de. Kind regards, Frank -- ## InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, http://www.innotek.de ##
