I have virtualbox running perfectly on hardy with the 2.6.24-19 kernel,
and I had it running on the 2.6.24-18 kernel as well. I didn't have any
problems setting it up, although after using the OSE version I got the
PUEL version because I wanted to be able to share a USB device.
As far as I know
On the error message that pops up there is a command that needs to be run as
sudo. I'm not at a buntu machie at the mo so I can't get the exact message
but it's something like /etc/init.d/vbox drvseup.
That will compile the kernel modules for you and should get vbox working -
double check as well

Hi,
I prefer to run my windows applications under Vmware (or any other
virtualization software).
I find it very reliable (and trendy)

I installed virtualbox/winXP yesterday, it works really well. I am running
photoshop in it and the performance is good. You do need a reasonably beefy
machine, I have a Dual core athlon(around 2ghz) and 3gb of ram.
The only thing that wasn't working was USB, but this can probably be fixed
fairly
Much like Michael I also use virtual-box, but I would add that depending
on your circumstances you may need the PUEL edition. This is not open
source, but it is still free (as in beer) for personal use. The main
feature it has that the open source edition does not is that it can
share USB devices

I'm not sure, but I think you will need to match the kernels number directly.
Have a look, there should be one without the kernel number that will
