I was able to reproduce this using the latest VirtualBox version 1.6.2 source downloaded directly from Sun. Note that the Ubuntu repo has a very old 1.5.6
I traced the VirtualBox makefile (line 138 of ./out/linux.x86/release/bin/src/Makefile) and it checks to make sure 2 values match: * uname -r * /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config/kernel.release The kernel.release file has the (erroneous?) value "2.6.24.3". I fixed it by: cd /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic/include/config/kernel.release cp -p kernel.release kernel.release.bak uname -r > kernel.release Afterwards, VirtualBox compilation should proceed as normal. -- problems with kernel 2.6.24.19 reporting as 2.6.24.3 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/247055 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
