It's pretty simple to get VirtualBox running on grml. :)
Just add the following line to your sources.list:
# virtualbox: deb http://www.virtualbox.org/debian etch non-free
Then run 'au ; ati virtualbox' and everything else should run pretty straight forward (assuming you have the kernel-headers available on your system - that's the default for your grml system - so compiling the kernel module by the Debian package works).
That's it. :)
Hello mika,
I did as you described, but I get the following errors in /var/log/vbox-install at compiling the kernel module.

The kernel-headers are installed, any ideas?
