VB not working with latest Fedora kernel

Description

I was trying to run a VM after a reboot, but none of the VMs will start.

The reported error when starting the VM is the following:

The provider 'virtualbox' that was requested to back the machine
'default' is reporting that it isn't usable on this system. The
reason is shown below:

VirtualBox is complaining that the kernel module is not loaded. Please
run `VBoxManage --version` or open the VirtualBox GUI to see the error
message which should contain instructions on how to fix this error.

Running VBoxManage --version in the console I get:

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64) or it failed to
         load. Please try load the kernel module by executing as root

           dnf install akmod-VirtualBox kernel-devel-4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64
           akmods --kernels 4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64 && systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
5.2.18_RPMFusionr123745

Now when trying to rebuild with akmods --kernels 4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64 it fails.

The log is the following:
