I can also confirm this.

I'm using kernel 2.6.24-21-generic, for which the virtualbox-ose modules
have not yet been compiled. When trying to use module-assistant I get
the same errors as the first poster (assembly-related messages). This
makes Virtualbox unusable in the 2.6.24-21 kernel.

As a temporary workaround, I was able to manually insert the module for
2.4.6-20-generic, which was still installed (since it is the latest
dependency of the virtualbox-ose-modules-generic package) and it seems
to work, by using the following command:

sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-20-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko

dmesg reports success and the vbox machine seems to boot up and work OK.
