After the upgrade I successfully rebuilt the kernel module for vb with vbox_build_module, then started vbox and it hung with a small dialog "spawning session".

I'm using kernel26-2.6.32-ice currently (its up to 2.6.32-4) and
Virtualbox PUEL worked fine just moments ago. Its 1 am here, tomorrow
I'll try with the stock kernel and see whether it doesn't work.
