Jason W:
I tried building them once and hit a snag.

We will have to name them virtualbox-host-modules-wheezy-3.16.6-tinycore or something like that since the modules seem to be specific to the version of Virtualbox that is running. 

Jason W:
I have the creation of the Virtualbox modules scripted to create for a needed particular version.

Right now, we have the kernel packges for dCore-jessie, named:

virtualbox-host-modules-jessie-3.16.6-tinycore
virtualbox-guest-additions-modules-jessie-3.16.6-tinycore

I plan to build for the other dCore ports soon.  Testing now with dCore-jessie virtualbox-qt and the Core iso.

Jason W:
virtualbox-host-modules-jessie-3.16.6-tinycore  also works with ub-dCore-utopic and ub-dCore-trusty.  I will test on the backports virtualbox-qt on wheezy tonight which is also the same version as the other x86 dCores.  Unless anyone else wants to give it a spin today.  I will remove the 'jessie' from the module package names as they are not particular to jessie.

Jason W:
I think it is logical to name the virtualbox modules for their virtualbox version since it is that version the modules are specific for rather than a Debian repo.  So the modules are now named:

virtualbox-4.3.18-host-modules-3.16.6-tinycore
virtualbox-4.3.18-guest-additions-modules-3.16.6-tinycore

I did try to build modules for dCore-wheezy, but the 4.1.18 package has an issue building with the new kernel, same error here as on the bug report below and the solution in it's follow up.  Use the 4.3.18 virtualbox from wheezy-backports instead.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-backports/2014/03/msg00065.html

Virtualbox-qt is available in the contrib section of wheezy-backports.  Use the below entry in an /opt/debextra file to import it:

http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-backports contrib

I have tested Virtualbox with each dCore x86 port and all is working as expected.  When a port has an updated Virtualbox package, I will then provide a set of kernel modules for it.

Onyarian:
great, Jason!

works perfect!
