[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Two Virtualbox Problems?

[Mark Pavlichuk]

  I'm running the backports version on Etch.

  I'm using an AMD64 kernel running on i386 Debian install.  (This is 
because I'm running binaries that require a i386 userspace install).  
The AMD64 kernel module installs and modprobes, but when I run 
VirtualBox I get "The VirtualBox support driver which is running is from 
a different version of VirtualBox. You can correct this by stopping all 
running instances of VirtualBox and reinstalling the software."

  If I use a i686 kernel on the same box it works fine, or if I use a K7 
kernel (on another box)...  it's just AMD64 kernel (on i386 userspace) 
that's the problem.

  I also have the opposite problem to the VirtualBox bug ticket #731 :
http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/731 .  ie. VirtualBox expects ABI major 
version 2,
and not 1 (as is running on the Etch "server" ).  I guess this problem 
would be specific
to backports.

ps. I haven't tested AMD64 kernel on AMD64 userspace yet, but I'd 
presume that would work.
