I have initially installed virtualbox before upgrading the Arch
Also took backup of the kernle before upgrading since kernel26 2.6.30 is having problem with virtualbox
After upgrading I have configure the grub to use the previous kernel i.e 2.6.28
Later installed xorg and want to install the video drivers from VBox additions
but running
sh VBoxLinuxAdditions_x86.run
i get the following
install build and header files for your current kernel
The current kernel version is 2.6.28 Arch
What are the build and header files I have to install or search with pacman
And since i have upgraded the system will I able to look up the header and build files needed for kernel 2.6.28

Virtualbox runs perfectly fine with 2.6.30 now.

There is a kernel-headers package that should already be installed. glibc depends on a certain version of it so, to install a version that matches your kernel, you'd also need to downgrade glibc (and who knows what else!).

dmartins - he's talking about his kernel's headers, not the kernel-headers package - they are two very differnet things.
sant527 - when you backed up the 2.6.28 kernel, did you remember the files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH/ ? They're what VBox is looking for.

I have that directory still saved, So what are the files I should look for

If you're running the 2.6.28 kernel, you should restore all those files to /usr/src/linux-2.6.28-ARCH.
