I failed to understand what information you need exactly. If it is my 
fault, sorry. You last asked me to make sure that it's not something 
specific to my hand-compiled kernel; I replied that it happens exactly 
the same [repeatedly, as I stated this in my original report] with the 
Debian kernesl as well. The script is the one in /etc/init.d/ called 
'virtualbox' whihch gets installed automatically by Debian apparently in 
order to compile a .ko at boot time for the running kernel if it doesn't 
exist (the .ko). What am I hiding from you? You want a dmesg from a 
Debian kernel? Will do. Want /var/log/messages ? Will do. Just SAY IT. 
Don't accuse me of not providing information.
