Solution to kernel driver not installed in VirtualBox in Linux

After the rhel-server-6.6-i386 is installed today, VirtualBox is successfully installed again, but when creating a virtual machine in VirtualBox again, "cannot open a new task for xx Virtual Machine" appears"

The following error message is displayed:

Run as prompted

#/Sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

But still failed

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [OK]
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [failed]

I have been searching for a long time on the network and found that installation is required.

Kernel-devel

So install it

# Yum install kernel-devel

Run again

#/Sbin/rcvboxdrv setup

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [OK]
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules [OK]
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules [OK]

This solves the problem.
