Yeah happened to me with the vboxvideo module a few days ago (on regular
kernel). It needs upgrading, but in the meantime you can install
virtualbox-host-dkms and follow the instructions the install file will
print to build the modules.

(to the list mod: sorry about my previous mail, hope this is right this
time. gmail automatically hides the preceding mail and you start writing
above it, this is kinda awkward for me to do this, but I understand why I
should)
