virtualbox error VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT

[subzer011]

so i've been trying to find a solution to get this working. ive googled and searched the forums. i can't get a new VM to boot up. i keep receiving a VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT error. i've tried to strip down the VM to bare specs (no nic, no cd drive, no floppy), but still the same error. It's a Win2012 VM.

the thread above points it to a permission issue, but ive tried setting chown, chgrp, and chmod on the /home folder within the jail but no luck. maybe someone here can help. i've also tried re-installing freenas 9.2.1.8 from scratch and deleting/installing the jail, but errors still occurs. this is what shows up in the machine log...

Code:

Which version of FreeNAS? How did you install virtualbox?

 

[subzer011]

9.2.1.8-RELEASE. i backed up settings and tried a clean install of the same freenas version, but still ran into the same issue.

To install I went to Jails -> Add Jails -> Gave the jail a name and IP address -> Unchecked vanilla and NAT, left VIMAGE and Autostart checked -> OK

used the instructions here,

Have you tried installing the virtualbox jail type instead? That should "just work".

If you read that, one of the top things I mentioned was the template. You should be using that and NOT be trying to create it yourself. You won't be able to create it yourself as the version available from pkg-ng won't match the pre-installed kernel drivers that FreeNAS uses.

In short, use the template or you will be sorry. ;)

i did use the template. forgot to add that in my last post, sorry. i selected virtualbox-4.3.12 from the "type" dropdown
