WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (3.9.2-8.g04040b9-desktop) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
I tried some ways to solve it, found a solution finally: Re: vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded - Author: Perryg - forums.virtualbox.org> less /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
> sudo zypper install dkms
If dkms is not found, retry after adding packman repository, or just download dkms from http://software.opensuse.org/package/dkms or http://linux.dell.com/dkms
It installed dkms-2.2.0.3-1.1.noarch, kernel-devel-3.9.5-12.1.g08531e3.noarch, kernel-desktop-devel-3.9.5-12.1.g08531e3.x86_64 on my computer.
If devel kernel version doesn't match kernel version, upgrade kernel, then restart computer. There will be build and source directories in /lib/modules/`uname -r`.
I just upgraded openSUSE to Tumbleweed, the kernel version is 3.9.5-12.g08531e3-desktop, matching.
> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Done.
