I still get the above error when I start virtualbox.  If I click past
it and
try to power up the ReactOS vm, I get:

----------------
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 if Linux kernel changes
and
recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
-----------------

The problem is that '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv' does not exist. Neither does
'/dev/vboxdrv'.  Am I somehow missing a package that should have been
installed?  Have I missed a step somewhere in installing virtualbox?
How do
I get vboxdrv installed?
What version of virtualbox does the above represent?

In my experience dkms for VirtualBox has never worked in Wheezy. I
have to
manually compile the module every time I upgrade the kernel.

According to the Debian Wiki, you have to install VirtualBox from
backports
if you use a backports kernel:
https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debian_7_.22Wheezy.22_Backports

Hmmm ... that's the x86 version of dkms for an AMD64 kernel. As this list
taught me some time ago, that can cause problems.
It was the Wheezy version of virtualbox, so I added contrib to the
wheezy-backports line in /etc/apt/sources.list.  I then performed
'aptitude update' and 'aptitude -t wheezy-backports install virtualbox'
with the following results:

~# aptitude -t wheezy-backports install virtualbox

I still get the same errors on starting virtualbox, or powering up any
vm.  There is still no file '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv'.

How do I manually compile the module?



Hello,

When i want to install VBox on Debian, i prefer installing the "module-assistant" package and using the cmd "m-a prepare". It'll download all necessary packages to build module.

Next, you can install VBox, it sould be OK as in my system.
