I just updated to kernel 2.6.28-16 and now my VBox doesn't work. How do I get the VBox to work with the new kernel?

Thanx.

You need to recompile your vbox kernel modules.

How do I make that happen?

Thanx for the quick response.

I tried the instructions posted by running_rabbit07 and got the following:

~$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
* Usage: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv {start|stop|restart|status}

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv does not have a setup option

I'm running virtualbox-ose

You may have to reinstall then. I am using the latest VBox downloaded from the Sun site.
