Summary: Virtualbox install fails due to custom kernel modules not working (was: Virtualbox install fails)
we have no plans to support custom kernel modules at this time, so vbox not working is to be expected.  not that it would help you in the first place as it's already running inside of a VM, and we don't support nested KVM instances.

before i close the bug, lets see if there was any docs/messaging we were planning on including here.
