Hi Folks,
sorta a newbie, be gentle please ;-}
installed virtualbox and had problems starting it
installed the xen kernel and got it working but wasn’t to impressed by the performance (slow mouse response)
noticed that with the xen kernel loaded, virtual box worked
removed xen kernel, now virtual box is broken
read log files and figured out I needed kernel sources and headers
installed them
now I can run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup with no errors
but virtual box still won’t startup
I find this in /var/log/messages

any ideas what my problem is?
