Still experiencing this issue:

[  308.523504] vboxdrv: Trying to deactivate the NMI watchdog permanently...
[  308.523512] vboxdrv: NMI watchdog either active or at least initialized. 
Please disable the NMI
[  308.523516] vboxdrv: watchdog by specifying 'nmi_watchdog=0' at kernel 
command line.


Doing this 3 times solves the problem for a session:

$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv 
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-5-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid argument
$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv 
(/lib/modules/2.6.31-5-generic/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid argument
$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
------------------

e.g. the mod inserts on 3rd time without any problems.

vboxdrv occasionally fails to load on karmic 2.6.30 kernels due to active 
nmi_watchdog
