Starting VirtualBox kernel modulesNo suitable module for running kernel found ... failed!

I would love to test virtual box out, as i loved parallels when i used to use os x.

Make sure you have installed the kernel headers for your running kernel, gcc and make, and rerun "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
