Do you have RPMFusions's VB or the one from Oracle's repo? I found
RPMFusion's build problematic as they provide modules through kmod.
Akmod
can automatically build modules for you.

So I have switched to Oracle's version. It comes
with /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
that you could run manually to build the modules using following
command.

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

I have the RPMfusion one. I'll remove it and try the Oracle one, thanks.

AFAICS, the RpmFusion package uses akmod not DKMS to build the kernel module(s).

With kmod you have two options either install kmod-VirtualBox which has pre-built kernel modules in which case you'll have to wait for the package to get updated to get the modules for the updated kernel; or install akmod-VirtualBox which should build the module at boot, of course the build can fail and require a patch... etc.
