virtualbox upgrade issues with maverick

[quackeroni_pizza]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to Maverick and keep seeing the following error when trying to run Virtualbox

Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

When I try to recompile the kernel driver, I get the following

>>> sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules * done.
* Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules * done.
* Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/source.

* Failed, trying without DKMS
* Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules
* Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong

Install the kernel-headers package that matches your kernel version:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.32-22-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic/source.

My Maverick is up-to-date and uses kernel-headers-2.6.35-22-generic. You're a couple of minor versions behind it appears. I'd suggest "sudo apt-get upgrade" to begin with before getting the kernel headers and re-installing VirtualBox.

When you've finished upgrading and installing the kernel headers, you'll find the headers in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic and a symbolic link to this directory from /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-generic/build.

Yes I have done the apt-get upgrade but I stay stuck at 2.6.32

When I try to download kernel headers, I see this->

>>> sudo apt-get install kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Sorry, it should have read linux-headers, not kernel-headers. I must have misread something in the output of dpkg on my system.

Still 2.6.32-22-generic is a Lucid package; the Maverick package is at 2.6.35. When you boot, how many kernels does grub offer you? Which one are you running?

[quackeroni_pizza]

Weird.. The largest version I see is 2.6.32 in grub. I just did an upgrade from Lucid and hoped it would take care of doing a smooth upgrade. Everything in sources.list points to Maverick.

Now how to I upgrade the kernel?

[quackeroni_pizza]

Ok, I manually added a 2.6.35 line in the boot menu.

Now the simple "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" works fine. I can run virtualbox just fine.

Still not sure why 2.6.35 never made it into grub menu.. I even tried a grub update.
