9 years ago This issue is present in boot2docker 1.7.1 as well. However, I am fairly confident that this is a VirtualBox issue and not a Boot2Docker issue. I have created this ticket here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14281
The short version is that I ran into the same issue after bailing on the Boot2Docker installer and using the VirtualBox installer and got the same issue. I had to manually kill the background process in order to upgrade VBox.
Workaround My workaround for upgrading boot2docker was to simply use the boot2docker command line tools:
mbp:~ me$ boot2docker upgradeThis upgraded everything but VirtualBox. To get around the VBox issue, find the lingering VBox processes and kill them:
mbp:~ me$ ps aux | grep VB
me 1135 0.2 0.0 2451240 7088 ?? S 7:10AM 0:00.05 /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxXPCOMIPCD
me 1137 0.2 0.1 2532164 11260 ?? S 7:10AM 0:00.13 /Applications/VirtualBox.app/Contents/MacOS/VBoxSVC --auto-shutdown
me 1147 0.0 0.0 2450180 684 s000 S+ 7:10AM 0:00.00 grep VB
mbp:~ me$ kill -9 1137Once you do that, the VBox installer will work. Hopefully Oracle will fix this someday.

I tried installing the Boot2Docker-1.5.0.pkg package and it fails when running the installation scripts:

I have seen this conflict with libkern/kext before when I have had a vmware image running, and that turned out to be the case this time as well. When I shutdown the virtual machine, the install succeeds. It would be good if a better error message about looking for running virtual machines was given, as well as a note in the install doc about this common problem.
