From: Mathieu Malaterre on
Hi there,

I am trying to play with virtual box. Once I finish setting up my
virtual machine, and I hit start, I get the following error:

RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not fit to this version of
VirtualBox. The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not
successful. Executing

'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

should fix that problem. Make sure that you don't mix the OSE version
and the PUEL version of VirtualBox.



I did follow *exactly* steps on:
http://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Lenny

system:

There is no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv AFAIK, so what should I do instead ?

Thanks,

^^^^^
note: This part is the version number of the virtualbox kernel modules.

You are trying to use the original virtualbox-ose kernel modules of
Lenny (version 1.6.6) with the newer virtualbox-ose from backports.org
(version 3.0.6). You either have to downgrade the virtualbox-ose package
or build newer modules with module-assistant and virtualbox-ose-source
from backports.org.

Single click installation with KPackage.
Run few Debian, DesktopBSD, OpenSolaris inside without problem on my
Lenny and Squeeze.

And for anyone interested, I solved it using:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515976#72

Well I did the upgrade version instead of the downgrade :)

$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-core

This solved the previous issue with GDM I reported

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2009/04/msg02906.html

Both my GDM and firefox are back to good ol' AZERTY :)
