I've never used vitualbox before so after the upgrade to hardy release and vmware-server broke yet again I gave it a try. Unfortunately I can confirm the problem with the kernel module version not tracking the current kernel. I installed from the standard repo and it went well until:
Unpacking libxalan110 (from .../libxalan110_1.10-3.1_amd64.deb) ... Selecting previously deselected package virtualbox-ose. Unpacking virtualbox-ose (from .../virtualbox-ose_1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1_amd64.deb) ... Setting up libxalan110 (1.10-3.1) ... Setting up virtualbox-ose (1.5.6-dfsg-6ubuntu1) ... * Starting VirtualBox host networking... [ OK ] * Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv * No suitable module for running kernel found. Searching in /lib/modules for vboxdrv.ko finds /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/kernel/ubuntu/misc/vbox/vboxdrv.ko and no others. unfortunately I have the release kernel... uname -a Linux asus 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux so there is a mis-match on the binary builds for this package. -- Kernel updates break VirtualBox support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212217 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
