Here is the complete error message :
1)
Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or
there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the
kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the
DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and
recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

When I ran 'dmesg', this is what I saw that is related to virtualbox :

And what's the complete error ?
Looks like you don't have the kernel-headers / devel packeges so the
module isn't being properly compiled.... we need the complete log to
confirm it.

Make sure you are in the vboxusers user group. Edit /etc/group and put
your ID there. For example:
vboxusers:x:1001:sdstern
You may have to logout/login after doing so to get the change picked up.
