Public bug reported: After updating from kernel 3.0.0-20-generic to 3.0.0-21-generic, Virutalbox was unable to start the installed Win XP virtual machine, reporting a problem with missing kernel drivers ("Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)"). After downgrading to kernel version 20 it works fine. Check all the steps I went through here (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/201004), as other issues were involved too. I'm reporting this as a bug after the advice given by another user in the Ubuntu Questions thread linked above.
Ubuntu release: 11.10 (oneiric), Linux Kernel 3.0.0-21-generic, GNOME 3.2.1 Package version: virtualbox-qt 4.1.2-dfsg-1ubuntu1 Final note: Virtualbox and the installed Win XP virtual machine had been installed previous to the kernel update and had been working fine for months.
