Bug Description

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

i'm trying to use virtualbox yet i'm getting this message everytime i'm trying to load an image

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

so i try to install virtualbox-ose-modules but the problem is that I need to install the linux-header and this is the msg that i get:

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  linux-image: Depends: linux-image-generic (= 2.6.24.19.21) but 2.6.24.20.22 is to be installed

I'm running 2.6.24.20 but i only see up to 19 in synaptic
