Hmm, we should perhaps clarify some things here. I'm sure everybody
in this thread is knowing that but anyway: VirtualBox without kernel
modules is not much useful -- you can only create and/or manipulate
configurations of virtual machines.

So kernel modules are required, the question is probably _which_ modules.
I assume, Arne wants to compile the modules himself because he probably
uses a self-compiled Linux kernel.

Kind regards,

Frank
