To anyone stumbling here - this problem is caused by the vboxdrv not starting on boot. In my case the reason for it not starting on boot it was a collision between the /etc/init.d/virtualbox from the opensource distro and the Oracle vboxdrv.
You can start it manually after each boot per the posts above, or fix the autostart issue by removing virtualbox remnants and reenabling vboxdrv in systemd:
Code:
sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f virtualbox remove
sudo rm /etc/init.d/virtualbox
sudo systemctl enable vboxdrv
