Public bug reported:
Upgrading from Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04 gave me the 2.6.24-16 and
2.6.24-17 kernels (with 2.6.24-17 selected as the default in Grub). The
latest VirtualBox kernel module available in the repository is for the
2.6.24-16 kernel. When trying to start a virtual machine while the
2.6.24-17 kernel is running, I get the error "VirtualBox kernel driver
not installed" VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED.
If I boot up using the 2.6.24-16 kernel (by selecting it in Grub),
VirtualBox runs fine, but my audio is broken. (VirtualBox does give a
warning about not being able to find an audio device.)
So basically, VirtualBox is completely broken for me on Ubuntu 8.04.
Whoever is maintaining the VirtualBox packages has not been keeping the
kernel module packages up-to-date.
