   It also seems that VirtualBox doesn't work with kernel 3.4. Back on 3.3 !fedora

     Eh? VirtualBox is working for me with 3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64. Did the /etc/sysconfig/modules/VirtualBox.modules dance with 3.3.7-1.

     Do you have the akmod-VirtualBox package installed? That should generate modules for you automatically on kernel update.

     Works for me, are you using the yum repo? http://ur1.ca/9gsfr

     @ploum it's not ideal if you need bridging, but you might want to check out virt-manager - it's in the kernel so it has less issues than VB

     My akmod tip assumes you're using RPM Fusion for the VirtualBox OSE "open source edition", not Oracle's proprietary version.

     I think they did away with that distinction. Anyway, the binaries are released under the terms of the GPL version 2. http://ur1.ca/9ghfc

     Ah, right - the proprietary bits are now relegated to the "Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack". Good to know!
