The second part of your statement "if you have the kernel tree ready to go (apt-get install build-essential, and drop the GPL/linux-kernel-2.6 files in /usr/src/linux" is a bit confusing to me. Could you be a little more step by step as far as this is concerned?
So far I have:
1. downloaded the .gz file and chmod +x the file
2. #tar xvf RAIDiator-x86-4.2.7-T51-Kernel.tar
3. #make && make prepare and got error to run make oldconfig and got "configuration written to .config"
4. Ran #make oldconfig and got "configuration written to .config"
5. Ran #make prepare (OK no errors)
6. Ran # ln -s /c/backup/GPL/linux-x86-2.6/ /usr/src/linux (OK I think.)
7. Ran #./VirtualBox-3.0.8-53138-Linux_amd64.run.sh
I see that the .gz file is T51 and I am running T55. Could that be the problem?
Thanks for your help.

Basically, just download and install http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... _amd64.run. Upon installation, it will compile the needed modules, if you have the kernel tree ready to go (apt-get install build-essential, and drop the GPL/linux-kernel-2.6 files in /usr/src/linux)
