Some information about why the module didn't load may be found in dmesg;
can you please supply that?

The module will need to be signed if you are booted under secure boot,
but just to check can you run 'cat /sys/kernel/security/lockdown' and
confirm that the square braces appear around "integrity"?

I don't routinely use any dkms modules, but iirc the prompt only happens
the first time you install a dkms module for enrolling the MOK with
shim. After that I thought the module signing happened silently, so
could that be why you don't see any prompts? You can check whether the
module is signed by running 'xxd /lib/modules/$(uname
-r)/updaes/vboxdrv.ko | tail' (I think that should be the right path),
and you should see "~Module signature appended~" appear at the end of
the right-hand column.
