Helpful information would be what vm-builder version are you using.

I *think* from reading above that either
a.) either your kernel or your software is looking for modules (possibly
in /proc/modules or otherwise looking for kernel features) of the
*running* kernel.  Thats not going to work as the running kernel is not
the chroot'd kernel.
b.) your software is installing before the kernel that has the modules it
needs.  If thats the case, either make 2 apt-get install invocations, or
fix your software to depend on the kernel you need so it gets installed
afterward by apt.
