VM fails with error VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND with bridged network.

[Andrew Fairbrother]

VirtualBox 3.1.6_OSE r59338 Host is Ubuntu 10.04 32bit on AMD64 PC using r8169 NIC driver. Guest is windows XP SP3

VM fails on boot if bridged networking is selected with the following error:

Failed to open/create the internal network 'HostInterfaceNetworking-eth0' (you might need to modprobe vboxnetflt to make it accessible) (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND). 00:00:01.174 Please install the virtualbox-ose-dkms package and execute 'modprobe vboxdrv' as root

virtualbox-ose-dkms package is installed.

I have stopped Virtualbox, run modprobe vboxdrv and tried the VM again with the same result.

{{{~$ lsmod | grep vbox vboxdrv 168753 0 }}}

The VM will run if host only networking is selected. If I remove Virtualbox and reinstall it with the package manager, the VM will work but fails again after the next host reboot.

Not all kernel modules were properly loaded. The vboxnetflt module is missing.
