VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic..
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Any solution

You have to get the correct kernel from the repos and then it should load. There is already a thread on this issue. Please do a search for "virtualbox" and you should find it easily. I will look for it also and post back.

EDIT: Thought of something else. you may have to reboot once the new kerneal is installed in order for it to work.

(1) is your user in the vboxuser group?
(2) if it is, then reinstall vbox... maybe there has been an issue (or kernel update)

Have you tried doing what it says to do?

[Canis familiaris]

Search for "vboxdrv" in synaptic and install the virtualbox modules
Also add your user to vboxusers group.

ANother advice:
Use closed source version of VIrtualbox instead of VIrtualbox OSE.
