This system does not seem to have support for OpenGL direct rendering.
VirtualBox requires Linux 2.6.27 or later for this. Please see the log
file /var/log/vboxadd-install.log if your guest uses Linux 2.6.27 and you still see this message.

You must restart your guest system in order to complete the installation.
