VitrualBox modules not available in kernel 3.6

Postby Johnny Who » Fri Oct 26, 2012 13:10

I have just installed the latest kernel, and it works really faster than the 3.5. There is one problem, though. The virtualbox modules don `t work. They seem to not be installed.
When I run,
Code: Select all
modprobe vboxdrv

it says that there is not such a module. What should I do?



OFF TOPIC:Is there a weekly update coming up this week?

You need to install the modules for Linux 3.6. Open an terminal emulator and past

Code: Select all
su


Code: Select all
equo install virtualbox-modules-4.2.0-r1#3.6.0-sabayon virtualbox-guest-additions-4.2.0#3.6.0-sabayon

Did that, so
Code: Select all
modprobe vboxdrv
is sucessful, but still the system doesn't find any of these commands:

Code: Select all
VirtualBox
virtualbox
vbox


I am member of the vboxusers group.

Any ideas what I need to do to get VirtualBox started?
