Fedora10 install virtualbox, start virtualbox after loading ISO error your kernel source for Kernel 2.6.27.5-117. fc10.x86 _ 64 Can

Recently, FC 10 (fedora10) was installed on the machine (x86_64). to install the virtual machine, first install VM 6.5. It was found that it was very difficult to install VM 6.5 in 64-Bit mode for three days, give up. Some people say that the 64-bit VM under FC 10 cannot be installed. As a result, I switched to Sun's Virtual Machine Software virtualbox. On the official virtualbox website, I found the rpm version of fedora9/10 corresponding to x86_64. I read a lot of posts on how to install it. After the sub-device is installed, you can open the vbox interface. However, after loading the ISO image, an error occurs when you click Start."No precompiled module for this kernel found"
, Prompting to view/var/log/vbox-install.log.

After searching for half a day, I finally found a post to solve my vbox problem.

We found that my kernel and kernel-devel versions are inconsistent.

# Uname-R (or rpm-Q kernel) view the kernel version

# Run the rpm-Q kernel-devel command to view the kernel-devel version.

 

[Root @ localhost/] # uname-R

2.6.27.5-117. fc10.x86 _ 64
[Root @ localhost/] # rpm-Q Kernel
Kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64

[Root @ localhost/] # rpm-Q kernel-devel
Kernel-devel-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.x86_64

 

I found inconsistency. The kernel version is low, so I updated the kernel.

[Root @ localhost/] # Yum update Kernel
Loaded plugins: aliases, allowdowngrade, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, fedorakmod,
..........

Installing:
Kernel x86_64 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10 updates 20 m
Updating for dependencies:
Kernel-firmware noarch 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10 updates 370 K
............

After the update, reboot restarts the machine.

 

[Root @ localhost ant] # uname-R

Consistency is found.

In this case, you must first uninstall the previously installed vbox.

[Root @ localhost ant] # rpm-Q virtualbox (view virtualbox)

[Root @ localhost ant] # rpm-e virtualbox (uninstall virtualbox)

[Root @ localhost ant] # rpm-IVH VirtualBox-2.2.4_47978_fedora9-10.x86_64.rpm (install virtualbox)

Start virtualbox again, load the image file, and start successfully.

 

We hope it will be helpful for installing virtual machines in Linux.
