Ok, so after a fresh install: yum install dkms kernel-devel sync sync sync reboot wget "http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/virtualbox.repo"; -O /etc/yum.repos.d/virtualbox.repo wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O oracle_vbox.asc rpm --import oracle_vbox.asc rm oracle_vbox.asc yum update yum install VirtualBox-3.2

Follow this link[1] and setup the yum repository. Then installing is as simple as: # yum install VirtualBox-3.2 The other packages you need is the kernel headers (not the whole source) and dkms (dynamic kernel module support), i.e.: # yum install kernel-devel dkms And then, the fun part: # /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup [snip] Try "service vboxdrv setup" instead. Not really the problem but from what I've read it's a more appropriate method. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. 1: This is not working [bug on virtualbox.org website? ]: # wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | rpm --import - error: -: import read failed(-1). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S. 2: When i wanted to install VirtualBox, i tried this [when running in to the kernel source "issue"]: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/red-hat-fedora-linux/20689-donwload-kernel-source-using-yum.html#post549910 But when i'm here: # yumdownloader -e core-source -e updates-source --source kernel Usage: "yumdownloader [options] package1 [package2] [package..] CRITICAL:yum.cli:Command line error: option -e: invalid integer value: 'core-source' ..it gives an error :O so i wanted to: yum remove rpmdevtools yum-utils -> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Y8y0YjLG Is it safe to remove "anaconda"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You don't want to just download it, you want to install it. But as I said, you don't need the whole source, just the headers which is provided by the kernel-devel package. Thank you in advance! :\ [sorry, i'm a beginner in Fedora :\ ] No problem!
