Well, now that the upgrade is complete, GRUB lets me boot, and all my
packages are up-to-date, I get no DKMS build errors when I uninstall and
reinstall virtualbox/virtualbox-qt/virtualbox-dkms.

Instead, when I try to start a VM:

RTR3InitEx failed with rc=-1912 (rc=-1912)

The VirtualBox kernel modules do not match this version of VirtualBox.
The installation of VirtualBox was apparently not successful. Executing

'modprobe vboxdrv'

may correct this. Make sure that you do not mix the OSE version and the
PUEL version of VirtualBox.

where: supR3HardenedMainInitRuntime what: 4
VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH (-1912) - The installed support driver
doesn't match the version of the user.

...But that's unrelated to the original bug report.

I'll probably just go back to a 32-bit kernel at some point. That will
probably be sufficient to get VirtualBox working again once I need it.

(Odd: I got an e-mail when Sergiu posted, but not when LocutusOfBorg
posted.)
