At the moment, e.g. using Synaptic, you will find that virtualbox-ose is at version 1.6.6 in Lenny, and virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-686 is at 1.6.2. That is the mismatch, which occurs now and then. What you can do in such a case, is to compile the module yourself, in the same way as it is explained for Etch here: http://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox?highlight=%28virtualbox%29 In short: # module-assistant auto-install virtualbox-ose # modprobe vboxdrv # lsmod | grep vbox vboxdrv 55344 0 And do an 'aptitude hold virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.26-1-686' to prevent the wrong module from replacing the new one during the next upgrade. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
