Virtualbox with latest kernel - Gutsy

If it's of use to anybody else, I got the procedure I needed from another 
source:-

sudo apt-get -y install virtualbox-ose-source build-essential 
module-assistant
sudo m-a build virtualbox-ose
sudo m-a install virtualbox-ose
sudo modprobe vboxdrv

But before the install stage would work I had to
sudo aptitude remove virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic
sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-15-generic

and then
sudo aptitude install virtualbox

because the first step removed it due to dependency I guess.

Anyway, XP is now sitting on another desktop installing 71 updates during 
shutdown.
