Hi, Did you tried to compile yourself the kernel module for the Virtualbox? Is not an hassle, needs an bunch of package, but always works. Clean everything what you have did for VBox, even the hidden conf files too in your home folder. Here is how I do always: 1. Go to http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads 2. Get the latest Fedora RPM 3. Install that through automatic installer, it will install few Qt modules too, but doesn't bother For kernel modules: 1. IF the earlier install successfully done - do: yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers (it's cca 25 Mb) 2. to set up the modules: KERN_DIR=/usr/src/kernels/`uname -r` --->enter export KERN_DIR ---> enter 3. usermod -a -G vboxusers the_user_name 4. /etc /init.d /vboxdrv setup 5. After compiling: Enjoy - and works every way.
