Knowing that an automatic update replaced my kernel only a few days ago, I chose to d/l kernel-source. YaST then asked for the installation disk, and installed from there. I did not notice that there was anything about downloading and applying incremental changes, and I can only hope that it did this and I didn't notice. Does this sound to be what should have happened, and it is safe to retry the integration of the VB kernel modules? YaST says the installed kernel-source is now 2.6.27.7-9.1.

Do from the command line
- uname -a
(this gives you the current kernel version) then
- ls -l /usr/src/linux

YaST, however, shows that the installed kernel files (including kernel-source) are 2.6.27.7-9.1, which is not quite the same.
(this gives you the version of the source you have) and check if the two versions are the same. If not, update the source to the right version.
If they are, retry the integration of the VB modules.
