[Bug 272064] Re: [intrepid] failed to power virtual machine message "spawning session..." freeze

[Freerk Kalsbeek]

Hi all,
I ran into the same problem today. It is quite easy to resolve by performing the following.

On intrepid:
packages that have to be installed are:
virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose-source
dkms
linux-headers-<server|generic|....>

dkms will compile the driver once it retrieves the new linux-headers and
creates a new vboxdrv.ko in /lib/modules/<your kernel
version>/updates/dkms/

Running depmod -a will do the final trick. 
start /etc/init.d/vboxdrv will load the module then

I did not expect the depmod had to be run in advance, thought dkms would
handle all that, but apparently it doesn't.

Good luck
Freerk
