Introduction
Kebetulan inget dan di ingetin lewat post yang ada di IndoXploit tentang Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) yang dimana kita tidak dapat menjalankan mesin virtual yang telah kita buat seperti pada gambar di bawah ini.
Penyebab Error
Dan kalian jika baru saja menginstall virtualbox pada Archlinux (Di sini saya menyebut archlinux karena saya yang kerap mengalami dan menemui masalah tersebut) akan mendapatkan error seperti berikut:
~ ❯ sudo pacman -S virtualbox

Solusi
Install Kernel Headers
Untuk mengatasinya lakukan instalasi kernel headers :
sudo pacman -S linux-headersUntuk Kernel LTS
Untuk yang menggunakan kernel LTS:
sudo pacman -S linux-lts-headersDetail Instalasi
Berikut rinciannya :
~ ❯ sudo pacman -S linux-headers 1m 41s

Setelah instalasi kernel headers selesai, coba jalankan kembali VirtualBox. Error rc=-1908 seharusnya sudah teratasi dan Anda dapat menjalankan virtual machine dengan normal.
