So please could you provide some more information? That is, which distribution
are you using and to which directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build points to?
The logfile /var/log/vbox-install.log would also be helpful (when compilation
of vboxdrv against the current kernel fails of course). You could send the log
file via private E-mail to frank at innotek.de.

Kind regards,

Frank
