OK - heres more info/context.
As originally reported, its a popup when booting a kernel built from source.
It (the same popup) also happened just now, when I installed another new
built-from-src kernel.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal
3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a /boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a
/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel:
3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a (i686)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.2.10/build/make.log for more information.
SO, looking at that logfile, DKMS cant find the .config.

I suspect that the problem is that the kernel is built with
make O=../build-chb
and that DKMS doesnt know to find the build symlink
$ ls -l /lib/modules/3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 32 Aug 29 08:55
/lib/modules/3.11.0-rc7-chb-00007-g11cf33a/build ->
/home/jimc/projects/lx/build-chb
I'll rebuild a new kernel w/o the O=../build-foo, and test that theory, RSN.
