Public bug reported:

VirtualBox can't run any VM, telling me this:

  Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

  The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or
there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the
kernel module by executing

  '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'

  as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install
the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes
and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

Therefore I tried to reinstall virtualbox-dkms
