I just saw a bug in the Dapper package. Please try to execute 'depmod -a' as root, then try to execute '/etc/init.d/virtualbox start' again. > $ modprobe -l | grep -i vbox > > $ ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/misc/vboxdrv.ko > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35686 2007-01-14 10:03 /lib/modules/2.6.15$ cd > /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 > > $ cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-386 > > $ sudo make defconfig > scripts/kconfig/conf -d arch/i386/Kconfig > *** > *** Can't find default configuration "arch/i386/defconfig"! > *** > make[1]: *** [defconfig] Error 1 > make: *** [defconfig] Error 2 > $ 'make defconfig' should be needed. If 'depmod -a' (see above) is not successful then try make -C /opt/VirtualBox-1.3.2/src install and then try '/etc/init.d/virtualbox start' again. We hope that we fixed all these Debian issues in our next packages which are expected to release soon. Kind regards, Frank -- ## InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH, http://www.innotek.de ##
