Appeal to the kmod maintainer of VirtualBox over at rpmfusion

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

Please, could you rebuild the latest rawhide kernels the modules
required for VirtualBox-OSE? The latest ones are ages old and won't work
unless I'm using a seriously old kernel.

I would do it, but can't get the things to build!

TTFN

Paul

P.S. VirtualBox-OSE-devel won't install on rawhide either... pre script
error.

(well, as supported as anything to do with 3rd party kernel modules is
supported in Fedora).  At least it's present and can be useful in
these scenarios, and not require someone else to do something for you
first.

You should post at the rpmfusion lists[1].

P.S. this is why I despise kmods. You should convince them to use dkms, 
which is supported by Fedora. The akmod/kmod system is just a disaster.
