Hi all,
thanks to all. Finally I found what's happen. I do not why, my Debian
i386 Installation CD install an amd64 kernel, butm aparently, as Dave
Thayer says,
You might be running a 64-bit kernel in a 32-bit userspace
because the kernel was 64-bit but I cannot install the 64-bit version of
Virtualbox.
I de-install the amd64 kernel headers and force to install a 32 bits kernel.
Then I reboot with the new configuration (32-bit kernel) and reinstalled the
Virtualbox. Now it seems that it is all ok.
Thanks to Ralf Mardof, Claudius Hubig, Camaleón and Dave Thayer, all of
you helps me a lot!

Hello,
I am trying to install Virtualbox, and after several times with the
same error, I try to check all the steps of the installation in
depth, and I see this message
First Installation: checking all kernels...
Building only for 2.6.32-5-amd64
Building initial module for 2.6.32-5-amd64
Then I check my kernel, and I see that (aparently) my installation
has the 64 bits architecture
$ uname -a
Linux linuxpc 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Sat May 5 03:03:41 UTC 2012
x86_64 GNU/Linux
But I am pretty sure I installed the 32 bits version. In fact, if I
revise the /etc/apt/sources.list file, I have this line
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4 _Squeeze_ - Official i386 DVD
Binary-1 20120128-12:53]/ squeeze contrib main
For sure, I tried to install the 64 bits version of Virtualbox, and
I got an error because the wrong architecture.
And, of course, my question is: what's happen? I have a 32 or 64
bits installation?
You might be running a 64-bit kernel in a 32-bit userspace. I ran such
a system for quite some time until my last HD upgrade.
Unfortunately, virtualbox is unhappy in such a system, so you have to
set up a 64-bit chroot. There's information on the VB wiki here:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Setup_Jail. It's kind of a PITA, but
it works.
