I see, you tried the version from the virtualbox website. I suppose they 
won't provide a precise version before the release of 12.04. I used the 
version for precise coming from the Ubuntu repositories and that one 
worked for me. But if you really need the version from the virtualbox 
website, you could try the version for oneiric instead of the (not yet 
available) version for precise.
