virtualbox - vboxdrv: Fatal error in Kernel 4.8 - Ask Ubuntu


why modprobe vboxdrv not resolved yet kernel 4.8?

i have 2 kernels 4.4 , 4.8 , vboxdrv working fine on 4.4 whenever try launch vm fatal error modprobe vboxdrv.

should wait virtualbox update can fixed somehow newest kernel?

edit: uname-a output

linux mohsen-svp1322f4e 4.8.1-040801-generic #201610071031 smp fri oct 7 14:34:10 utc 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/linux 

edit2: updated kernel 4.8.4 , removed virtualbox dkms reinstall again. still error found. vboxdrv still not found.

edit3: tried reinstall virtualbox dkms no luck. removed , reinstalled virtualbox per here , working fine now.

with oracle's virtual box 5.1 dkms (dynamic kernel management system) no longer used download source code , compile every kernel upgrade.

go install latest virtualbox 5.1 ubuntu 16.04 instructions on:

  • removing old version
  • adding virtualbox sources.list (informs ubuntu find it)
  • adding virtualbox signature key library
  • installing current version of virtualbox

also instead of kernel version 4.8.1 has "dirty cow" security holes (what dirty cow bug?), should use recent kernel version 4.8.4 (as of october 27, 2016) has bug fix.
