Virtualbox Installation Problem

Hi,
I'd like to install Vbox with USB support.
So I added the Vbox's repository and

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install virtualbox

It says:

Starting VirtualBox kernel module:
No suitable module for running kernel found ... failed!

/var/log/vbox-install.log is:

Attempting to install using DKMS
info: No menu item ` removing old DKMS module vboxdrv version ' in node `(dir)Top'.

Error! Invalid number of parameters passed.
Usage: remove -m <module> -v <module-version> --all
   or: remove -m <module> -v <module-version> -k <kernel-version>

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 1.6.6
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.

I had this problem also when I Installed virtualbox-ose, but it works.

What can I do?

Thanks

Francesco

Re: Virtualbox Installation Problem

It looks like you need to install linux-headers.  Do so as follows:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-3-686

Please let us know if this helps.
