Today Virtualbox on my ACER D250 (Ubuntu Remix 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-20-generic) did not start, reporting this error:
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Googling a lot, I did not easily find the answer. Many experts say that this is consequence of updating the kernel, but this was not the case.
The most frequent tip was to give the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
This did not work, here the result:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: command not found
Another proposed solution was to find a backupped copy of vboxdrv, named vboxdrv.dpkh-bkp, and rename it to vboxdrv. No such file was in my computer.
Here is the solution that worked: restart the virtualbox-ose module with
sudo /etc/init.d/virtualbox-ose start
