Hi Frank,

This has nothing to do with the Linux distribution. This error code
just means that the version of the kernel driver does not match
the version of VirtualBox. Sorry for the stupid error message.

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

should solve your problem.

this was - of course - the first thing I tried.... but without any
success. The module compiles fine without complains, but the problem
remains the same (even after rebooting the host)

Regarding the header files, I suppose to have the right ones:

# uname -a
Linux pcsatknb01ext11 2.6.26-2-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 26 02:56:43 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux

# dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-2.6-amd64       2.6.26+17+lenny1
ii  linux-image-2.6.26-2-amd64  2.6.26-15

# dpkg -l | grep linux-headers
ii  linux-headers-2.6-amd64        2.6.26+17+lenny1
ii  linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64   2.6.26-15
ii  linux-headers-2.6.26-2-common  2.6.26-15

# dpkg -l | grep -i virtualbox
ii  virtualbox-2.2  2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny


And please make sure that you remove
any *ose* package (virtualbox-ose, ose modules).

Ok, made sure. Anyway, I never installed any ose package on that system.

But insted of using an apt-repo, I tried to download the binaries from the vbox page and simulated a manual installation:

# dpkg -i --simulate virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb
dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb (--install):
 Paket-Architektur (amd64) passt nicht zum System (i386)
Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 virtualbox-2.2_2.2.4-47978_Debian_lenny_amd64.deb

...which complains about wrong architecture (while installing the i386 package would seem to install fine). But as you can see from my uname output, I'm obviously running an amd64-kernel.

What's wrong here? Any ideas/suggestions?

Thx in advance & cheers,
Andy
