I will start with the easiest bit: in these days of systemd, not all systems have /etc/init.d. If you do then the old script should still land there (can you check that it is still present on your system?), but we decided to adopt SUSEs convention (much older than systemd by the way) of /sbin/rc* in addition, for the others. Could you please give more details of your system and what you did to upgrade VirtualBox and any additional information that seems useful, like messages displayed while you were upgrading? I just did a quick test install on CentOS 6 and everything worked as expected. So it would help if I understood why your system is different. If you installed from the RPM package, the output of "rpm -ql VirtualBox-5.0" would be good to see too. Regards, Michael -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
