Virtual Box install problem on FC10

[Yoram Halberstam]

Hi,

I've tried, unsucessfully, to install Sun Virtual Box on my FC10. It's a bit
of a funny install where you have to install the package and then compile it
for your system... Very well, I'm not a Linux expert so I suspect it has to
do with virtualization in the kernel.

This was the link I found

I did all until number 3 (included) which is vboxdrv setup.

[root at desktop Download]# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                          [  OK  ]
Removing old VirtualBox netflt kernel module               [  OK  ]

Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module                       [  OK  ]
Starting VirtualBox kernel module                          [FAILED]
  (modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why)

running dmesg gives me the following

vboxdrv: version magic '2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 SMP mod_unload 686
4KSTACKS ' should be '2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.PAE SMP mod_unload 686
4KSTACKS '


I guess it has something to do with PAE. Somehting I've noticed is that the
src downloaded from yum is in folder
/urs/src/kernels/2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 (notice that there is no PAE
at the end).

uname -a givesd this:

Linux desktop.lan 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed May 20
22:58:30 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Help....!....!...!

Cheers

Yoram
