Well, that gave me a glimmer of hope. It reads:


Installation from VirtualBox home page (OSE and non-OSE)

Since VirtualBox is acquired by SUN, the download page of VirtualBox
will redirect to a download page from SUN. From this download site a
package or the source code for the latest version of VirtualBox for
openSUSE and SLED can be downloaded.


Prerequisites for VirtualBox downloads

Whether you use binaries or installing from source you have to install
the following packages first:

* kernel-source
* kernel-syms
* Xalan-c
* Xerces-c


Installing VirtualBox from Binary (non-OSE only)

Simply download the package from the download page of VirtualBox and
install it. See Package Management for more information about installing
software under openSUSE.

When everything goes well, VirtualBox should be installed in the /opt
directory.

Next, create the required kernel module by executing the command:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup


I was missing kernel-syms, Xalan-c, Xerces-c. (Why did it even install
with those missing?) So I uninstalled Virtualbox, installed the three
missing pieces reinstalled Virtualbox and ran:

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Still no go. Same error when trying to start Virtualbox. The version of
Virtualbox that I had installed was 2.0.0. I learned that there was a
newer version available so I downloaded version 2.0.2, uninstalled
version 2.0.0 and installed 2.0.2. Still no go. Same error.

BTW, Virtualbox does not install into /opt as stated in the
instructions--it installs into /usr/lib/virtualbox. Not sure if that
makes any difference.

HELP!

Thanks,

Russell

I have had the Sun VirtualBox 10.3 version running on my P4 32 bit system
with no problems. I needed usb support, which the ose version on SUSE dvd
does not have. Last week I upgraded to VirtualBox 2.0 and the 11 version.
I'm now running the 2.02 version. Only problem I have is my printer is not
seen but I forgot to change fstab as mentioned in the manual and also need
to remember to mount usbfs before startind Vbox.

Be sure you meet all the dependencies mentioned in the manual. My VM is
Windows XP, Host opensuse 11.0, KDE 3.5.9

it could be the version of opensuse you have running i have virtualbox
running on opensuse 10.3 without any problems.

the version of virtualbox i am running is
VirtualBox-2.0.0_36011_openSUSE103-1.i586.rpm

i always thought opensuse 11 would cause problems thats why i never upgraded
to cutting edge for me.

I think I read about issues with VB and openSUSE 11.0 on the mailing list.

I have 10.3, with the Sun Virtual box running Vista and no issues. It
installed and loaded without a problem.
