8 If the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> kernel module, <userinput>vboxdrv</userinput>,
9 refuses to load you may see an <codeph>Error inserting vboxdrv:
10 Invalid argument</codeph> message. As root, check the output of
11 the <userinput>dmesg</userinput> command to find out why the load
12 failed. Most probably the kernel disagrees with the version of
13 <userinput>gcc</userinput> used to compile the module. Make sure
14 that you use the same compiler that was used to build the
15 kernel.
