VirtualBox will not start until this problem is fixed. Please consult /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out why the kernel module does not compile. Most probably the kernel sources were not found. Install them and execute
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
as root.
I get this when I install 1.6.6 how can I fix this? I messed with my kernel to fix my wireless drivers now this isn't working. Please help.
Using 2.6.24-21 generic iirc

See the VirtualBox FAQ for some basic answers.
See the Forum Posting Guide for help framing questions and give the proper information. You at least need the kernel headers installed.

Okay so I just installed build essentials, headers, and module assistant and I still get the same error message. The install log says the following:
Makefile:127: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.
I fixed the problem! I had to recheck proposed updates then do the headers then uncheck the proposed updates again. VBOX works now. Thank you all and I'm sorry for wasting your time.
