Virtual Box Issue afater upgrade to Natty Narwhal
I upgraded to natty from 10.04 going via 10.10
The 10.10 Upgrade went Ok with a warning re Virtual Box - but it still worked
I proceeded to do the natty upgrade.
However I had problems with Virtual Box ( I use it to run XP for Itunes)
Virtual Box started but the machine would not.
I googled the problem - Advice seemed to be uninstall and reinstall - did that but stall the machine does not start.
The Re-install was the 4.0.8 for Natty - the previous was 4.0.4

You can use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located, or you
