Alas, while I can help you with sensible suggestions for installing
VirtualBox - I've never used it so I can't comment on anything the
application spits out...
Just one question - what does "/sbin/lsmod | grep vboxdrv" say? (this
is just to check that the VirtualBox kernel module *is* actually
loaded - that's about as far as I can go)
