/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

you *must not* use systemctl or service which is a wrapper for systemctl
the times where a service can have whatever actions are gone with systemd
Not entirely true with regards to using service. This is on my F19 box.

[dw-agagne ~]# service vboxdrv status
VirtualBox kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt, vboxnetadp, vboxpci) are loaded.

Where Bob has a problem with vboxdrv is that it does not exist.
It appears he has gotten virtualbox from the rpmfusion repo.

vboxdrv comes with what is packaged from the virtualbox.org repo.
