I'm sorry but this is not true. The kernel module has to be compatible with _your installed Linux kernel_. Even one Linux distribution may have different kernels since every distribution fixes bugs over the time. Yes, we are supplying precompiled kernel modules in some of our packages but we cannot guarantee that these kernel modules fit your current kernel. I guess that you simply did not install the kernel sources matching to your current kernel. Please have a look at /var/log/vbox-install.log. Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
