Hi List, As an Ubuntu user who has recently upgraded to 4G RAM, I had to compile a custom kernel with high memory support because Ubuntu doesn't ship such a kernel with restricted drivers which I happen to use.
Next, I've installed virtualbox_1.6.0-30421_Ubuntu_gutsy_i386.deb
successfully.

Considering the amount of free memory, it's impossible for vboxdrv to
not to have enough memory.
Please help me solving this issue, I'd gladly provide any information
you need.
Thanks in advance!
