Thank you. That worked. 

Would you kindly improve the displayed message, so that corrective
action is immediately visible. Like:

    Unknown error initializing kernel driver (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).
    VBox status code: -1912 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_VERSION_MISMATCH).

    Result Code:
    0x80004005
    Component:
    Console
    Interface:
    IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

+   POSSIBLE CAUSE:
+   - Linux: You have old kernel driver. Run "mobprobe -r vboxdrv && mobprobe vboxdrv"
+     and restart virtual engine.
