If you encounter problems while compiling the vboxdrv and vmmon kernel modules, it may be that your local kernel source tree is not properly configured.
In my case:
# cd /lib/modules/2.6.30.5-enming.teo
# rm build (symbolic link)
# ln -s /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.30.5 build
# rm source (symblic link)
# ln -s /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.30.5 source
Go to your kernel source tree. Some kernel header files may not be present.
# cd /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.30.5
If .config exists,
# make oldconfig
# make prepare
This will generate the missing kernel headers.
For VirtualBox,
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Above step will recompile linux kernel modules for VirtualBox. There will be 3 kernel modules.
To load the vboxdrv kernel module,
# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
Make sure that your .vmdk files have the correct owner, otherwise you will encounter error trying to add VMDK image in virtualbox.
For VMware Workstation,
The graphical installer will automatically compile the vmmon modules. There is no command line interface for you to compile the vmmon kernel modules.
