VirtualBox Team,
I have the same problem that Marcus had when trying to instal VirtualBox 1.3.2
with Ubuntu 6.06.1
LTS. Even though I already had the linux kernel headers installed, I tried to
follow the manual
by running "make defconfig." Please see my steps below ... not sure of what is
wrong:
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.06
DISTRIB_CODENAME=dapper
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS"
$ uname -r
2.6.15-27-386
$ dpkg -l | grep linux-headers
ii linux-headers-2.6.15-27 2.6.15-27.50
Header files
related to Linux kernel version
ii linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 2.6.15-27.50
Linux kernel
headers 2.6.15 on 386
$ dmesg | grep -i nmi
