I have completely purged virtualbox and all kernel headers.
Yes, I can reproduce the nouveaux driver errors with the 3.2.0-4 wheezy
kernel without vbox modules loaded.
Currently no modules taint the kernel. Upon further investigation, truecrypt
uses the built-in crypto module, so that is not affecting this issue.
