Description
I have a VM based on (X)ubuntu 14.04. I am using a dual Kernel System with the same Desktop and User files. After rebooting with annother Kernel version, I get a error notification message that the Guest modules are not loaded. I have to reinstall the guest additions with rebuild of the Kernel modules. This will work until I boot the other Kernel-Version and the same procedure will start. In VBOX versions 4.X I don't have this problems. Is there a problem with the initramfs or will some startup scripts not detect the running kernel version and find the right modules?

Do you have DKMS installed? Just a question, for now please don't change this.
If you have DKMS installed then this should normally care about the kernel modules. If you have DKMS not installed then the script in /etc/init.d/vboxadd should care about the kernel modules.
It's not necessary to re-install the guest additions, running
is sufficient to recompile the kernel modules for the current running kernel. But once this is done for the current kerrnel the modules should be available the next time you boot the same kernel. Which brings me back to the original question from above (DKMS installed or not)?
