Downgrade to Kernel 2.6.26.686 to Install Virtualbox-ose

In order to install virtualbox-ose, Max have to downgrade from 2.6.34.4 back to 2.6.26.686. The detail installation steps see Debian Wiki Virtualbox.

# aptitude install virtualbox-ose virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)
# invoke-rc.d udev reload
# modprobe vboxdrv
# adduser yourusername vboxusers

To load the vboxdrv module at system startup, edit /etc/default/virtualbox-ose and set LOAD_VBOXDRV_MODULE to 1.

  1. Actually, a better solution is update system from lenny to squeeze with kernel 2.6.32. See 'Virtualbox comes back to live after upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze': http://jingfenghanmax.blogspot.com/2010/09/virtualbox-comes-back-to-live-after.html
