Can you also provide dmesg from the 4.0 kernel after the failed attempt to start the vm?

here is the error message when I try to create a new host-only network: Menu->File->Global settings...->network->host-only network
Es konnte kein Host-Netzinterface erzeugt werden.
VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface: failed to open /dev/vboxnetctl: No such file or directory.

after re-compiling the kernel modules with - /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup - the issue disappears. I was able to create vboxnet0 manually via the menu. (see comment 3)
Strange, I had the problem on two machines (laptop and desktop), both after switching the Linux 4.0 and both could be fixed now.
I have no idea, why the vboxnet0 disappears. However, it's working now. IMHO, bug report could be closed.

Yes, you were probably missing the modules. You should see
VBoxNetFlt: Successfully started. VBoxNetAdp: Successfully started.
in your dmesg now - which is not in the dmesg you attached.
