Hey, all.  Running Ubuntu 9.10 (alpha) at work, and I want VirtualBox to
start up automagically on boot.  So I threw

modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe vboxnetflt
/usr/bin/VBoxHeadless --startvm XP

into my /etc/rc.local file.  I rebooted.  Virtualbox didn't start up.  I
did an "lsmod", and lo, neither of the modules had loaded.  So, as root, I
executed /etc/rc.local, and got:

r...@bree:/etc# ./rc.local
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-3-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid argument


So then I cut-and-pasted the contents of the file into the *same root
session*, and they modprobe'd like a champ.

Any insights that might prevent my further decline into senility will be
graciously accepted.

-Ken
