Generally I try to use a stable virtualbox-ose and whatever module builds with my kernel. Virtualbox does not require the exact same version of kernel module installed so I guess it's OK so long as the version is similar. Also upgrading virtualbox to the unstable version did not resolve the issue. > > also, what are the output of "sudo dkms status" and openafs, 1.5.75, 2.6.32-bpo.5-amd64, x86_64: installed openafs, 1.5.75, 2.6.35-0-amd64, x86_64: installed openafs, 1.5.75, 2.6.34-1-amd64, x86_64: installed virtualbox-ose, 3.2.8, 2.6.36-rc4-r600fence-netpollirq-smbinit-amd64, x86_64: installed dkms.conf: Error!

Still dkms could handle the issue more gracefully and still install the new virtualbox-ose on kernel install. Thanks Michal
