Proper DKMS configuration?

Hi,

I'm having some problems regarding the automatic compilation of some kernel modules with DKMS. I'm currently using the modified kernel provided in the ck-repo and using DKMS to automatically recompile some kernel modules, or that's what I want to but doesn't work.

I have correctly installed the packages 

dkms, dkms-bbswitch and virtualbox-ext-oracle 

. These two last packages provide the kernel modules for bbswitch (used to turn off the NVidia graphics card) and virtualbox. They work well, but every time I update the kernel, systemd is not able to load them. If I run:

>  sudo dkms autoinstall 

I get the following error, and that's the problem I think I have:

Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File:  does not exist.

Where can I locate this file, and how do I have to configure it?

Thanks, kind regards,

illusionist
