Sure. I did when I found your article and tried my VirtualBox.
The VirtualBox update was installed, I guess from update repository, but
kernel module wasn't updated (packaging bug?).
The solution is to add/enable repository:
zypper ar
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.3/
vbox
than list updates with:
zypper lu -t package
and if you want all updates (I did) than:
zypper up -t package
If you want only VirtualBox kmp module than:
zypper in virtualbox-kmp-default
Above is for default kernel.
