So, in my case, the kernel modules were not removed properly.
Here are the details:
root@Dell5280 [~]# cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
root@Dell5280 [~]# uname -r
4.13.0-31-generic
Problem:
root@Dell5280 [~]# modinfo vboxdrv
filename: /lib/modules/4.13.0-31-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
version:5.0.40_Ubuntu r115130 (0x0024)
license:GPL
description:Oracle VM VirtualBox Support Driver
author: Oracle Corporation
srcversion: 6D8B4900A693FC50489A130
depends:
name: vboxdrv
vermagic: 4.13.0-31-generic SMP mod_unload
FIX:
root@Dell5280 [~]# rm
/lib/modules/4.13.0-31-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
root@Dell5280 [~]# modinfo vboxdrv
filename: /lib/modules/4.13.0-31-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko
modinfo: ERROR: could not get modinfo from 'vboxdrv': No such file or directory
[1] root@Dell5280 [~]# /sbin/vboxconfig
vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services.
vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules.
vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services.
root@Dell5280 [~]# modinfo vboxdrv
filename: /lib/modules/4.13.0-31-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko
version:5.2.7 r120349 (0x0029)
license:GPL
description:Oracle VM VirtualBox Support Driver
author: Oracle Corporation
srcversion: 4880B21EFF1B605D6402982
depends:
name: vboxdrv
vermagic: 4.13.0-31-generic SMP mod_unload
parm: force_async_tsc:force the asynchronous TSC mode (int)
After this, everything works (at least in my case)
Hope it helps.
