How to run VirtualBox (OSE version) on the new Linux kernel.

    It happens that in the morning you will update the kernel quickly, but it turns out that new firewood for VirtualBox for this kernel has not yet been released and you need to wait two or three days until they appear in the repositories. But the answer is found in this case. Everything is very simple (well, at least for Debian distributions):

    sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source
    sudo module-assistant update
    sudo module-assistant prepare
    sudo module-assistant ai virtualbox-ose
    sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart

    And everything starts up superbly (tested on Ubuntu 8.04)
