Summary - VirtualBox 1.6.2-4 package contains an incorrect kernel driver
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Graphical applications
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - i686
Severity - Low
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - -current
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Package: VirtualBox 1.6.2-4
Kernel: Linux mandalay 2.6.25-fw7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jun 30 21:17:19 CEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

With VirtualBox installed and a virtual computer created and configured, trying to start it results in the error message "Failed to start....
VBox status code: -1912
VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH"

The command "modinfo vboxdrv" gives the following output:
filename:       /lib/modules/2.6.25-fw7/misc/vboxdrv.ko
version:        1.5.7 (0x00050002)
license:        GPL
description:    VirtualBox Support Driver
author:         innotek GmbH
srcversion:     99897AE65CFE57FBDBDCA1A
depends:        
vermagic:       2.6.25-fw7 SMP preempt mod_unload 686 
parm:           force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int)

The "version:" line seemingly confirms that while VirtualBox 1.6.2 is installed, the kernel driver's version is 1.5.7, hence the mis-match reported by an attempt to start virtual computer.
