The attached output doesn't seem to have anything related to vboxdrv at all. In any case, did you check that you are compiling the driver against the right kernel? Look at the output of uname -r, and make sure that the symlink /usr/src/linux points to the current kernel version, then recompile the drivers package. -- Jesús Guerrero
