I've been using VirtualBox for several years now but have never experinced anything like this.
I'm trying to create a 64bit virtual mashine on my 64bit system (Linux Mint 17). That is a task in itself which I think I figured out how to do.
But I can't even get to test any of the settings as any of my virtual mashines wont boot up.
I tried all these attempts:
Initial message:
Virtualbox Linux kerneldriver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permissionproblem
So I did a "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup"
Which resulted in this:
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 302: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/do_dkms: not found
...done.
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 327: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/do_dkms: not found
...failed!
(Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed!
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)
So I went to "vbox-install.log":
which states:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv: 334: /etc/init.d/vboxdrv: /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/build_in_tmp: not found
that's didn't give me much usable information so I did a little more testing.
Checked for services:
"sudo service vboxdrv status":
->
VirtualBox kernelmodule is not loaded
I made sure that I had the dkms installed:
"sudo apt-get install virtualbox-dkms"
which resulted in this messages:

Another post online gave me this idea:
"sudo modprobe vboxdrv"
but the result was:
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found
Does anybody have any idea of how I get closer to a solution?
