Sorry, I'm still in a mess with kernel headers.

In custom kernel the usual invocation to bring virtualBox up to speed:

  /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

gets

Error! Your kernel headers for kernel 2.6.35-28-generic cannot be found at
/lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/build or /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/source.

despite

fakeroot debian/rules binary-indep

producing

linux-headers-2.6.35-28_2.6.35-28.49_all.deb

and that apparently installing correctly.

And indeed there are neither build or source subfolders under /lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic/, though there's a build folder under most other /lib/modules/2.6.35-xx-generic/ folders.

Any thing else I can do? I notice fakeroot call also produced a small linux-source-2.6.35_2.6.35-28.49_all.deb. Should I run that maybe?

Or just wait for an official release that corects erant patch you found?
