Virtualbox is version [EMAIL PROTECTED] from the update repo and
virtualbox-kmp-default is [EMAIL PROTECTED] from oss repo. I apply
all updates supplied by updater applet. uname tells me the kernel in use
is 2.6.22.13-0.3-default. I have tried removing the .virtualbox folder
 from home, reinstalling and rebooting. Still the same error.
Virtualbox was working well before, haven't used it for a week or so.

Sure. I did when I found your article and tried my VirtualBox.
The VirtualBox update was installed, I guess from update repository, but
kernel module wasn't updated (packaging bug?).

Thank you for investigating this. I decided to file my first bug report and found this from yesterday:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=348258

The solution is to add/enable repository:
zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/VirtualBox/openSUSE_10.3/ vbox
than list updates with:
  zypper lu -t package
and if you want all updates (I did) than:
  zypper up -t package

If you want only VirtualBox kmp module than:
  zypper in virtualbox-kmp-default

Above is for default kernel.

and thanks for a solution!
The other problem mentioned (kernel module not loaded automatically) is also reported:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328887
there was talk of a fix a month ago, but nothing happened yet.

Thanks for your help Rajko
Cheers,
David
