I had beta-1 installed just fine on the latest Debian 2.6.31 kernel.
I tried to install beta-2 and the vboxdrv compile fails with:

There is, indeed no bounds.h file. But, but ... these are kernel source files.
Bounds.h should be around.
So I meanwhile, tried to reinstall beta-1. Got this:
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 -C /lib/modules/2.6.31-davidb-svn14611/build
SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 modules
test -e include/linux/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || (
\
echo; \
echo " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \
echo " include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf
are missing."; \
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to
fix it."; \
echo; \
/bin/false)
mkdir -p /tmp/vbox.0/.tmp_versions ; rm -f /tmp/vbox.0/.tmp_versions/*
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=/tmp/vbox.0
These instructions must be followed with any EXTRAVERSION string in the make
prepare. Now it will compile. And guess what, bounds.h has reappeared. To make
things easier and I should have known his from past experiences, simply re-run
the make-kpkg and stop it once actuall cc compiles start happening :-) After
this, the beta2 vboxdrv compiles just fine.
Moral of the story: Do not clean your kernel source directory before or
between virtualbox installs. At least the beta-1 compile gives instructions on
how to fix it (allbeit incomplete!). The beta2 vboxdrv compile script
apparently skips that test -e.
