On trying to boot the above kernel, I get a "Failed to start

I have virtualbox
installed and I also have that kernel. I just rebooted
this morning, so I know it works, and I just ran virtual box. It is showing

Two comments:
1) I thought DKMS was supposed to rebuild the VBox modules for each new
kernel automatically. This has happened in the past but seems to have
failed now. Why would this be and how can I fix it?
2) The error message was unhelpful as it didn't identify which modules
failed. It took some searching to find what the problem was. Surely this
could be done better. (In fact I'd argue that failing to load these
modules shouldn't result in a failed boot, but I realize that's maybe
harder to deal with).
