kernel module crash and hangs debian 3.1.8-6134

[Jérémy Lal]

Using this latest debian package, modprobe vboxdrv gives following output.

Please note i'm running debian/sid with kernel 2.6.33-2-686 #1 SMP, and virtualbox debian package version 3.1.6 did not have this problem.

Also i did obviously run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, which compiles the module without errors.
