Description

After I upgrade my macbook pro(2015mid) to High Sierra, the virtualbox does not work any more. When i start a vm, it alarted "Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)". And when I reinstall virtualbox with pkg, (with or without VirtualBox_Uninstall.tool), the progress failed near finish. install log in attach. Reinstall High Sierra (without format disk) doesn't help. No Button appare in Security & Privacy when installation failed. I found some simular question in tickets and forum, but the solutions does not work at all...

Now, when I load my VM and try to start it it says Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.

where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) - The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT

I have googled / loooked on the forums, but nothing is helping. I have tried nearly anything. Now I am not a huge computer wiz so I need some guidance...

That's not what the bugtracker is for. The bugtracker is for ... bugs. You're looking for help. So come to the forums and I'm sure we're going to figure it out.

BTW, so that you know, this is an Apple bug, not a VirtualBox one. VirtualBox can do absolutely nothing about it. Call Apple and complain. As loud as you can.

I believe that this ticket can be closed as [WorksForMe] or [Invalid].

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
