I have installed grml-medium 2009.10 in VirtualBox on windows7.

Some post said i need to install some kernel-patch in grml. anyone any idea.
The Virtualbox guest-additions are already available in grml. Just run as root: aptitude update aptitude install virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.31-grml (or grml64 if you use grml64)
how do i resolve this, is there something else i have to install, than linux-headers-generic like linux-headers or linux-headers-2.6.31-grml
It should be enough to just install the provided guest-modules.
You can also build the guest modules yourself (not recommend), just install virtualbox-ose-guest-source and kernel headers for your current kernel. Then you can use module-assistent to build the virtualbox guest-additions for your current kernel.
