Comment 21 for bug 250189

I had VirtualBox installed too, and the same DKMS error messages. I removed
VirtualBox without reinstalling it and reconfigured the kernel as you've
done, but it didn't fix the problem. It seems there are troubles with file
systems other than ext3, so I installed Intrepid on another partition. I had
to install grub2 because of the 256 Inode size (Intrepid install finished
with grub error 1) and manually fix drive numbers incorrectly read by grub2.
Now everything seems to work fine, but it's been the hardest upgrade since
Dapper. I should have sticked with LTS releases.
