[Bug 253831] Re: Should ship new kernel modules at same time as new kernel

[Pascal d'Hermilly]

Yes. DKMS seems like a really good way of doing it.

Unfortunatly it doesn't work very well for Virtualbox yet.
This is what I get when I start virtualbox, even though I have the packages installed and the module is compiled everytime I kernel-upgrade: 
-------------------------
WARNING: The character device /dev/vboxdrv does not exist.
         Please install the virtualbox-ose-source package and the appropriate
         headers, most likely  linux-headers-generic.

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
-----------------------

Is there a way to recompile the modules manually to see exactly what is
happening?
