I have the RPMfusion one. I'll remove it and try the Oracle one, thanks.

AFAICS, the RpmFusion package uses akmod not DKMS to build the kernel
module(s).
With kmod you have two options either install kmod-VirtualBox which has
pre-built kernel modules in which case you'll have to wait for the
package to get updated to get the modules for the updated kernel; or
install akmod-VirtualBox which should build the module at boot, of
course the build can fail and require a patch... etc.
