My F12 system was installed with the i686.PAE kernel (until the actual one 2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686.PAE). Now I tried to install virtualbox, but the installation failed:---------------------------snip------------------------------------------- root@eule1 [~]: yum install VirtualBox Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit virtualbox | 951 B 00:00 Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package VirtualBox.i686 0:3.0.10_54097_fedora12-1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution

Creating group 'vboxusers'. VM users must be member of that group!
No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-install.log.
Compilation of the kernel module FAILED! VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile. Most probably the kernel sources are not found. Install them and execute
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
as root.
Installed: VirtualBox.i686 0:3.0.10_54097_fedora12-1 ------------------------- snip ------------------------------
As you see, the with the kernel version 2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686.PAE the kernel modules cannot be built.
After installing the no-PAE kernel kernel-2.6.31.5-115.fc12.i686, VirtualBox has been installed cleanly.
Same problem, when trying to install VirtualBox from virtualbox.org.
Somebody made similar experiences?

Did you install the corresponding kernel-devel package for that kernel?

Oooops, I only installed kernel-devel, but not kernel-PAE-devel. That was it! Thank you.

Hmmm.. I have a similar issue: I don't use Kernel-PAE and I've installed kernel-devel and when I've tried to install VirtualBox I got this error:

Is there an dependency issue?

Did you install dkms? This is needed.
