Given that the Linux kernel doesn't maintain a stable ABI for modules I don't think it can really be considered a VirtualBox bug that a given version doesn't support Linux kernels which weren't written at the time of its release. I would say it is more a sad fact of life. -- You received this

Finally had the problem with my self-built kernel, and ran into the error shown here [1]. Perhaps you should work on making this a bit easier (as in the lockup detector enabled by default and the crash kernel correctly (!) installed), so that it works automatically when Apport is enabled. [1]
