Latest Update break VirtualBox

[junkam]

After the latest updates to Ubuntu 8 VirtualBox stopped working
I'm getting the following message

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).


Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

I tried to reinstall the package virtualbox-ose-modules-generic but the problem still exists.

HELP PLEASE

From a terminal run

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

It should work then...you may have to reboot first, I'm not sure

When I run sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
I get Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}

Doing sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv restart
I get:
* Stopping VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv[OK ]
* Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv
* No suitable module for running kernel found.

The virtualbox module for the new kernel is not available yet. I am waiting for it as well.

As a workaround you can boot into the .18 kernel instead of the new .19.

Thank you

Without the new Kmod, this wont work. Not sure when I first started seeing posts about this as a fix, but it is completely wrong.
