modprobe vboxguest failed
I had this problem today, and solved it by installing the kernel-headers
yum install dkms binutils gcc make patch libgomp glibc-headers glibc-devel kernel-headers
then
yum install kernel-devel
or
yum install kernel-PAE-devel
Then re-run VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
.
I discovered here that the standard guest additions install includes a built-in setup function, so there's no need to reinstall:
/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup
This gave me the error about missing kernel sources, so as brendan's answer, yum install kernel-devel
, and then that setup
command works, and everything seems to be back to normal again!
I had a similar problem today, but it turns out the vagrant-vbguest plugin was not installed. So, in the folder with my Vagrantfile:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
That solved it for me.
