After installing VirtualBox on Linux (Ubuntu), do I need to reboot
in order to have the kernel modules installed?  I assume not.

I've installed and uninstalled several versions of VirtualBox to
try to get DVD writing to work (see my other thread).  Finally I
needed to reboot in order to install other Ubuntu updates.  When
booting, I get messages about installing the vboxdrv and vboxnet
kernel modules, but both appear to fail with "bad exit status 101".

If, after the system is up, I run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start", it
seems to work with no complaints.  Ditto vboxnet.

Is the error message during boot a real failure or is it spurious?
If it's real, why is it failing?
