The public svn repository contains an updated version of the vboxdrv module.
This module can be used together with VirtualBox 1.4.0 by executing

  src/VBox/HostDrivers/Support/linux/export_module ~/vboxdrv.tar.gz

Extract the module sources from the generated vboxdrv.tar.gz and compile it
with

  vboxdrv/build_in_tmp install

(This assumes that /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build exsits and points to the
right kernel source directory).

The module contains some code to disable an enabled NMI watchdog on x86_64
systems. Feedback is welcome.

Kind regards,

Frank
