[Bug 226960] Re: Installing module for wrong kernel flavor breaks system (modules missing)

[J. Arturs]

HowTo Fix:
1. Install VirtualBox module source and build-essential
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-source build-essential

2. Fix missing/broken path to "src" in /etc/init.d/vboxdrv by creating simbolic link
sudo mkdir /usr/share/virtualbox/src
sudo ln -s /usr/src/vboxdrv-3.0.8 /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxdrv
sudo ln -s /usr/src/vboxnetflt-3.0.8 /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxnetflt
sudo ln -s /usr/src/vboxnetadp-3.0.8 /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxnetadp
3. Continue setup (Build module)
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

 * Stopping VirtualBox kernel module                                             *  done.
 * Removing old VirtualBox netflt kernel module                                  *  done.
 * Removing old VirtualBox kernel module                                         *  done.
 * Recompiling VirtualBox kernel module                                          *  done.
 * Starting VirtualBox kernel module                                             *  done.

Result:
cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
