Indded, mounting /proc filesystem moved things ahead a bit. Thanks. Now it 
fails with what Bernhard wrote, that is:

Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object.
Callee RC: NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED (0x80040154)

As for the kernel module I meant that the port Bernhard prepared did not 
install it and did not inform user to load it.
