> No, that won't change anything. In fact - that is what worked for me. I tried re-installing virtualbox-ose-dkms several times to no effect. I have no idea what causes the problem, I now only what fixed it for me. Do you know what is the cause? Do you consider this problem "solved"?

"modprobe vboxdrv" returns "FATAL: module not found". Package virtualbox-ose-dkms was installed but no module was built during the installation. However the package didn't report an error upon installation. I installed virtualbox-ose-source and re-installed virtualbox-ose-dkms. Now virtualbox-ose-dkms really built a module for the kernel and installed it. Virtualbox-ose runs virtual machiens fine. The problem is fixed. I suggest to make virtualbox-ose-source a dependency of virtualbox-ose-dkms (which is a dependency of virtualbox-ose, right?). That should fix the problem.
