i'm running ubuntu 8.04, and i updated my system. seems like the kernel has been updated too, from 2.6.24-16-generic to 2.6.24-17-generic.
it gave me a message :
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel,
which is likely virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.

You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

what should i do?
thanks very much.
