Fedora 25 Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908) as Unable to install Virtual Box
6,402
Solution 1
I have resolved the issue by disabling UEFI secureboot.
Solution 2
I had exactly the same SElinux notification and bash response when I attempted a vBox install on FED25. Check YUM and ensure the kernel-devel is installed to facilitate modification of the kernel-core. Once I installed the kernel-devel the 'rcvboxdrv setup' command in the vBox manual (see section 2.3) installed the drivers and vBox was able to boot.
