virtual box module buid failed on custom kernel

I built a custom 2.6.32-rc6 kernel and I am trying to build vboxdrv moduodele.
But vbox_build_module is failing with the following error

Building vboxdrv for Linux 2.6.32-rc6

As mentioned there I dont have this Makefile /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-rc6/arch/x86/Makefile . But there is a Make file in /usr/src/linux-2.6.32-rc6/. I symlink it but the process now freezed my laptop and I can see some warning messages printed all over konsole.

Re: virtual box module buid failed on custom kernel

I see kernel26-headers replaces kernel-headers as of 2.6.32...

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
