sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup this solution is work for me. But i got same error after rebooting my computer.
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
Virtualbox says I need to /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup again after reboot my computer :( :(, i'm using Ubuntu Karmic Koala kernel 2.6.31-17-generic. virtualbox version 3.1.2, I found the same problem on virtualbox 3.0.1.

That log file looks correct. What is the output of
/sbin/lsmod | grep vbox
and
/bin/ls -l /dev/vboxdrv
?

I am having the same issue. I went as far as wiping out and reloading Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit just make sure I had a clean install.
/sbin/lsmod | grep vbox vboxnetadp 6528 0 vboxnetflt 14288 2 vboxdrv 1777740 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
/bin/ls -l /dev/vb* crw------- 1 root vboxusers 10, 55 2010-01-05 08:08 /dev/vboxdrv crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 54 2010-01-05 08:08 /dev/vboxnetctl

Thanks. Could you add the output of
cat /proc/misc | grep vbox
and
cat /proc/devices | grep vbox
as well?

Here you go:
cat /proc/misc | grep vbox
54 vboxnetctl 55 vboxdrv
cat /proc/devices | grep vbox Produced nothing.

/sbin/lsmod |grep vbox vboxdrv 176360 1
/bin/ls -l /dev/vboxdrv crw------- 1 root root 10, 55 2010-01-06 09:44 /dev/vboxdrv
cat /proc/misc | grep vbox
55 vboxdrv
cat /proc/devices | grep vbox << no output

Actually I don't know why the kernel driver is not detected. I assume you are using the PUEL version of VirtualBox. Do I understand both of you correct that after /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup, you can successfully use VirtualBox until the next reboot?
I've removed your log file. Please use the Attach File button to attach big files!
Please execute the command /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup again and attach the content of /var/log/vbox-install.log!
