an existing file is the same as having that file there.)

and I should do (from the directory containing the links:
ln -sf vboxvfs /lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/updates/vboxvfs.ko
ln -sf vboxadd /lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/updates/vboxadd

No. Check that the files really exist in
/lib/modules/2.6.27.42-0.1-trace/updates/, and that there are no
symlinks.

They don't, as I discovered yesterday after I wrote. Here is the search:

# find -name "vboxadd.ko"
./lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/weak-updates/updates/vboxadd.ko
./lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-trace/weak-updates/updates/vboxadd.ko
./lib/modules/2.6.27.42-0.1-trace/updates/vboxadd.ko
# find -name "vboxvfs.ko"
./lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-default/weak-updates/updates/vboxvfs.ko
./lib/modules/2.6.27.45-0.1-trace/weak-updates/updates/vboxvfs.ko
./lib/modules/2.6.27.42-0.1-trace/updates/vboxvfs.ko
#

In fact, the directory /lib/modules/2.6.27.42-0.1-default/ doesn't exist.


Then that is not the installed/running kernel. uname -a will tell you
the running kernel. And to rebuild the modules for Vbox run (as root)
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
