[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#516242: virtualbox-ose: Init script fails

[John Goerzen]

Package: virtualbox-ose
Version: 2.1.2-dfsg-2
Severity: important

When the init script runs at install time, or manually:

# /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
Starting VirtualBox kernel module...failed.

If I manually run:

# modprobe vboxdrv

then the init script works fine:

# /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
Starting VirtualBox kernel module...done.
