happy10319Jun 16 2018 — edited Jun 19 2018

Hi,

After installing OL 6 on VM:

uname -a

Linux pc36.home 4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64

I can not install Guest Addition with following message:

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Uncompressing VirtualBox 5.2.8 Guest Additions for Linux........

VirtualBox Guest Additions installer

Removing installed version 5.2.8 of VirtualBox Guest Additions...

You may need to restart your guest system to finish removing the guest drivers.

Copying additional installer modules ...

Installing additional modules ...

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules.

This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.

Please install the Linux kernel "header" files matching the current kernel

for adding new hardware support to the system.

The distribution packages containing the headers are probably:

    kernel-uek-devel kernel-uek-devel-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Starting.

VirtualBox Guest Additions: Building the VirtualBox Guest Additions kernel modules.

This system is currently not set up to build kernel modules.

    kernel-uek-devel kernel-uek-devel-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64

Press Return to close this window...

I have already done:

yum install kernel-uek

yum install make gcc

[root@pc36 ~]# yum install kernel-headers-$(uname -r) kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security, ulninfo

Setting up Install Process

No package kernel-devel-4.1.12-124.16.4.el6uek.x86_64 available.

Error: Nothing to do

Thank.
