    VirtualBox 2.2.2 was running fine until, I got the latest upgrades from Ubuntu and now when I try to run Vista via VirtualBox. VirtualBox refuse to run. VirtualBox told me to execute the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I executed the command, and it failed. I looked inside the VirtualBox log files and found this:

    Makefile:140: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again. Stop.

    What I understand from the error is that Virtual Box could not find the current Linux kernel. That is what I understand. How do I fix this problem?

    install the kernel source code .. it usually goes somewhere like /var/source .. or something like that

    I don't think you will get much help from us to run that dirty ms stuff
