I just stumbeled over this bug (aparently it nowadays shows slightly different, by showing you first a quite ununderstandable error message, followed by the hint to install virtualbox-ose-dkms and running modprobe vboxdrv), and am wondering, if it wouldn't be a good idea for now to have virtualbox-ose-dkms conflict with the -amd64 kernel packages?
