What's the output of "modinfo vboxdrv"? Maybe dkms failed to build the latest version of the kernel module. Please check /var/lib/dkms/virtualbox/4.1.12/<current kernel version>/<architecture>/log/make.log and /var/log/apt/term.log. > After that, I get a message, that the kernel module was not installed > correctly: > RTR3Init failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912) > > The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.

I guess I should patch this message, but unfortunately that means loosing the translations. You could try to reinstall the dkms package ("sudo apt-get --reinstall install virtualbox-dkms").
