Bug in VBoxLinuxAdditions.sh -> duplicate of #15579

[DonC]

There seems to be an error in VBoxLinuxAdditions.sh for 5.0.24_108355.

When I run this program, I get several of the following error sent from the system:

Broadcast message from systemd-journald@… (Sat 2016-07-09 22:45:55 PDT):

dracut[21823]: Can't write to /boot/initramfs-: Directory /boot/initramfs- does not exist or is not accessible.

Looking in the messages file, I see the following errors about VBOX stuff:
