I Have been trying to follow this guide: https://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-virtualbox-with-yum-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ on how to install VirtualBox 5.2 on Fedora 27. It all went pretty smooth until I used the command '/usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup' to rebuild the kernel modules. Below you can see that the problem lies on the last line: 



 # /usr/lib/virtualbox/vboxdrv.sh setup
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why.


vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. makes it seem like there is some error. Does anybody know how to fix this and correctly finish the installation and everything?



I have been trying to install VirtualBox on Fedoracorrectly so that I don't get the well-known error rc=-1908 when I try to launch an OS in VirtualBox.

Since the questioner only provided little useful information (no kernel version, no log file / dmesg, ...) I can only ask my cloudy crystal ball here.



It says: Since the installation of VirtualBox 5.2 on Fedora 27 is usually painless (and since the guides from If-not-true-than-false are usually fine), "Secure Boot" might be enabled in the UEFI/BIOS and is preventing the vboxdrv driver from loading.

            How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
