Must have had a bad experience at some point. So, today I did install it on a laptop and found.... When it comes to the drivers they do things differently. The Oracle method is as I've outlined previously. As for RPMFusion it utilizes the "akmod" facility to build and install the modules when the kernel is updated. This is assuming you've installed akmod-VirtualBox from RPMfusion. The akmods facility creates the file /etc/kernel/postinst.d/akmodsposttrans which checks for the existence of the driver for the newly installed kernel. It then fires off the process to create the new drivers and this results in the following in /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log. 2018/08/05 12:56:46 akmods: Building and installing VirtualBox-kmod 2018/08/05 12:56:46 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/sbin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.17.11-200.fc28.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/VirtualBox-kmod.latest' 2018/08/05 12:57:50 akmods: Installing newly built rpms 2018/08/05 12:57:50 akmods: DNF detected 2018/08/05 12:58:06 akmods: Successful.

But, you've said you get a systemd-modules-load failure when the Oracle packages are installed. I've shown that can't be the case with Oracle. When comes to RPMFusion the following are now installed on my system. VirtualBox-server-5.2.16-1.fc28.x86_64 VirtualBox-kmodsrc-5.2.16-1.fc28.noarch kmod-VirtualBox-4.17.9-200.fc28.x86_64-5.2.16-1.fc28.x86_64 kmod-VirtualBox-4.17.11-200.fc28.x86_64-5.2.16-1.fc28.x86_64 akmod-VirtualBox-5.2.16-1.fc28.x86_64 Assuming you've the same installed you can check the /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log for any errors during the creation of the rpm. Also make sure that you have akmods.service enabled. > > FYI I have dropped a message for the Bumblebee packager.

It isn't a fact.
