You have to install the virtualbox-ose-modules package matching your running 
kernel; run "uname -r", then "aptitude install 
virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-20-generic" (or the one matching the info 
provided by the above "uname -r" command.

| and what are virtualbox-ose-guest-modules* used for?
| thanks in advance

Are you going to run a windows guest?  If so, you're not going to need those 
packages installed.

Hope that helps  ;)
