[SOLVED]New Kernel and /rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup doesn't work

Hello everyone. I use Slackware 12.2 with vanilla kernel 2.6.27.7
Since I upgraded my kernel (previously I had an older one) I got the usual error, then I run /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup to dinamically remove the old module, recompile the new one and inserting it in my running kernel. Then I was able to run my virtualized Windows XP. Next time I used VirtualBox I got the same error. It seemed strange to me, but I run the script another time and recompile the module etc... Then I was able to run Windows XP. Next time (today) I tried to run VirtualBox... and I got the same error!!! So I just recompiled the module etc... But I think there's an error, because I can't recompile a module every time I use VBox OSE. So I'd like to know if there is a way to avoid that

Thanks

Try it with the PUEL version from the website (there are only two versions, OSE and PUEL).
