VirtualBox on Kimsufi ATOM N2800
Hello,
I am trying to run VirtualBox on an Kimsufi ATOM N2800. When I attempt to launch the VM this happens.
So I run the following.
root@ns3282823:~# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup Stopping VirtualBox kernel moduleslibkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1567 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1567 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:1567 kmod_module_new_from_loaded: could not open /proc/modules: No such file or directory Error: could not get list of modules: No such file or directory ...done. Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed! (Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong) root@ns3282823:~#
Doesn't work, pretty irritating. Output of /var/log/vbox-install.log
/usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/build_in_tmp: line 62: make: command not found /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/build_in_tmp: line 62: make: command not found Makefile:183: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop. Makefile:183: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
Is there anyway to get this working?

I'm looking at the
make: command not found
issue. Try installing the build essentials (sudo apt-get install build-essential
orsudo yum install build-essential
).try a yum install gcc make
Still failing.
did you try my suggestion?
(if using ubuntu or debian try apt-get install gcc
& apt-get install make
You may not have the kernel source. Get the source for your OS (CentOS?).
sudo yum install kernel-devel
Else: Reboot or ensure that all of the VBox threads are killed. Run again and check the logs.
The
build-essential
package includes bothgcc
andmake
.Also try apt-get install dkms
Install
linux-headers
, too.I once had troubles on getting virtualbox to function properly @ Debian 6
this command fixed it for me:
You could try it.
You need to remove the OVH kernel and use the default kernel from Ubuntu.

I'm not sure the OVH kernel has loadable module support. Might want to try the OS default kernel instead of the OVH one
Might Help..

Why don't you use proxmox?
Another alternative to VirtualBox you could try is installing libvirt and KVM on the server, and using virt-manager on your desktop (connecting to the server over SSH). Might be easier to get set up, and also does not require a desktop environment and X to be installed on the server.
