解决安装VirtualBox 4.1失败的问题

解决安装VirtualBox 4.1失败的问题

 

安装环境和所使用的安装包如下：

[root@gtlionsdev ~]# cat /etc/issue

Oracle Linux Server release 5.8

Kernel \r on an \m  www.2cto.com  

[root@gtlionsdev ~]# uname -a

Linux gtlionsdev 2.6.39-200.29.2.el5uek #1 SMP Sat Jul 14 10:42:52 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

[root@gtlionsdev ~]# ll soft/app/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 80801380 06-20 23:20 soft/app/VirtualBox-4.1-4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1.x86_64.rpm
 

分别用从官网下载的安装包直接安装和配置yum进行安装，安装均报错如下：

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules [确定]

(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
 

Installed:

VirtualBox-4.1.x86_64 0:4.1.18_78361_rhel5-1

google出来的尝试执行如下命令：

root@gtlionsdev yum.repos.d]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

还是失败
 

查看日志提示如下“：

[root@gtlionsdev yum.repos.d]# cat /var/log/vbox-install.log

Failed to install using DKMS, attempting to install without

Makefile:172: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again。 停止。
 

后来经过群友提示和帮助解决了。

原因是缺少了对应内核的对应的包，虽然我之前已经执行过 kernel-devel的安装命令，但是没有安装uek内核的对应的 kernel-devel，正确的应该是kernel-uek-devel。

执行上述命令之后，重新执行下安装/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup命令即可：

[root@gtlionsdev ~]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules                         [确定]

再次感谢群友，群众的力量的伟大的，哈哈！

-The End-
