You can install the modules for each of the installed kernels using dkms install. For example, if you currently have kernels 3.3.1-5.fc17.x86_64, 3.3.2-1.fc17.x86_64, and 3.3.2-8.fc17.x86_64, and "dkms status" shows no vboxguest modules for any of them, you can install them with the command dkms install vboxguest/4.1.12 -k 3.3.1-5.fc17.x86_64 -k 3.3.2-1.fc17.x86_64 -k 3.3.2-8.fc17.x86_64 (assuming your vbox version is 4.1.12). You can do the same on the host with s/vboxguest/vboxhost. This is necessary to have the modules for all installed kernels after updating to a new vbox version. Kernel updates should automatically trigger corresponding module builds on either the host or guest. I don't remember if I had to do anything special in the beginning, but it's working perfectly for me now. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
