VirtualBox fails to load vboxdrv - kernel-header problem?

[RageLtMan]

i tend to use virtualbox to do a lot of testing and the like, using BT as the host system (its convenient since i use it as my primary OS these days), but BT4 is not cooperating. it seems unable to load or compile vboxdrv due to a lack of kernel-headers for the new kernel. Does anyone know how to remedy the issue, or at least where to get these headers? Thanks

lol I googled all day yesterday trying this and that, this fails for me too.

Did you make sure, that the kernel sources are installed?

I believe that was part of the steps I took yesterday, but still nada.

actually it looks like installing the latest kernel sources available in synaptic worked. this is on an HD install and i had to reboot the system before it would actually function...

Can you give us a little HOWTO?

try typing depmod in terminal
then /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
that worked for me. might require a restart.

Thanks, that fixed it.
