What is the exact error message? vboxdrv not accessible or wrong version?

Please make sure you close all instances of VirtualBox at first. Then make
sure that no instance of VBoxSVC is running anymore:

  /bin/ps aux|grep VBoxSVC

should not show any running process named VBoxSVC. Otherwise kill that
process.

Now you should be really able to execute

  /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Is the compilation of the module successful? If not, have a look at

  /var/log/vbox-install.log

Kind regards,

Frank
