I think this bug should be closed, but I don't think it's a duplicate of bug 303199.

That bug is about about virtualbox kernel modules on the host not getting updated when the kernel is updated, causing virtualbox on the host to not be able to run any guests at all.

This bug is about not being able to use the guest utils on an Intrepid guest running inside a Hardy host. The guests still run, the guest utils simply won't work.

This problem is caused by the version mismatch between virtualbox on the guest and virtualbox on the host (2.0.4 vs 1.5.6); this can't be resolved since I don't think anyone's going to put the virtualbox 1.5.6 guest utils modules into Intrepid or the virtualbox 2.0.4 host software and modules into Hardy.
