===> In order to run VirtualBox, you have to be in the 'vboxusers' group.
===>
===> If you want to be able to install guest additions, you have to install
===> 'virtualbox-additions' package.
===>
===> You must load vboxdrv module before starting VirtualBox:
===> # modprobe vboxdrv
===>
===> You must load vboxnetflt for Host Interface Networking:
===> # modprobe vboxnetflt
===>
===> You must load vboxnetadp for Host-Only networking:
===> # modprobe vboxnetadp
===>
===> To load it automatically, add vboxdrv module

*** To compile the modules do /etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup ***

i don't see any bug here. vboxdrv is not supposed to run automatically. YOU have to type that command.

So why do I see:

error: command failed to execute correctly

I don't think that is supposed to happen.
