The Virtualbox kernel modules can be found under /lib/modules/[KERNEL_VERSION]-generic/updates/dkms/ If you've installed Virtualbox from the Ubuntu repositories they should be there.
Please tell us what the problem is. Does Virtualbox fail to start?

I have the same problem
I Installed "virtualbox-ose-modules-generic" but after last kernel update (to "2.6.24-25-generic") the package didn't updated (last one is "virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.24-24-generic" ) and virtualbox-ose doesn't run any guests anymore.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv status
 * VirtualBox kernel module is not loaded.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start
 * Starting VirtualBox kernel module vboxdrv
 * No suitable module for running kernel found.

and the "2.6.24-25" doesn't found in :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=virtualbox-ose

what can I do?
Thanks

I would suggest:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose

If that doesn't do anything, try

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure virtualbox-ose

If that fails, I think you should file a bug report.
