Kernel build Virtualbox error

I have Mint 14 installed with kernel 3.5.0 on a Toshiba NB205-N210 netbook.
It frequently hangs. Input from mouse or keyboard gets things moving again.
I've been using gentoo on the machine for years with no problems, so I tried using its .config to build a new kernel.
I downloaded 3.8.9 from a kernel mirror, copied in .config, and 'make oldconfig' taking the default option in all cases.

The build worked, but the install failed with a problem with virtualbox?

As far as I know I do not have anything related to virtual enabled.

Thoughts?

Try version 4.2.8 instead;

Thanks, but I do not want virtual on this machine. It is a netbook with a 1.6GHz single-core Atom processor.

Oh, sorry!
Use the kernel config tool of your choice and remove the virtualbox flags.
