Add the following lines [virtualbox] name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - VirtualBox baseurl=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/rpm/fedora/$releasever/$basearch enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/sun_vbox.asc 3. yum update 4. yum install VirtualBox dkms gcc 5. /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup DONE. Ps. To enable usb drive support in your guest os, just add yourself to the vbox users group in host os. Simpler method of installing
1. nano /etc/yum.repos.d/vbox.repo
2. Add the following lines

The 'dmesg' output should give some clues as to why this is happening and which module is missing. Also, the 'modinfo' command is helpful in troubleshooting as well. Another scenario is that the module wasn't compiled against the kernel in which it's being inserted into. Either way, you'll want to talk with the VirtualBox guys on their official forums. Good luck!

Поставил Virtual Box 3.1.4 на Fedora 12 . На вертуальной машине в свойствах включено ускорение процесора, и оно не отключается. У меня компьютер его не поддержует и из за этого виртуальная машина медленно работает. Почему не отключается ускорение процесора? Как это исправить? Подкажите пожалуста!
