VirtualBox-OSE and rawhide

Hi,

I've tried to rebuild the kernel modules for VirtualBox-OSE as the
current ones in the rpmfusion repos are ages old and just don't work
with the current rawhide kernels.

I've downloaded the VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-3.2.0-1.fc14.src.rpm and tried
to rebuild using

rpmbuild --rebuild VirtualBox-OSE-kmod-3.2.0-1.fc14.src.rpm --define
"kernels $(uname- -r)" --target $(uname -m)

it gets so far and then complains...

make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.34-18.fc14.i686.PAE'
+ for module in 'vbox{drv,guest,netadp,netflt,vfs,video}'

Is there a fix for this or a newer version of the kmod src rpm?

Also (and forgive me for asking), why is kmod being used when fedora
supports dkms?

TTFN
