So I installed DKMS package from download. Tried the /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup command, which failed because of no such prog vboxdrv in that directory. listed directory and found that there is a process called ./virtualbox. executed ./virtualbox restart then ./virtualbox status which said that the kernel module was loaded. re started the Virtual box programme and my Win98 VM started up no problem....so hopefully it's fixed ;) Using Mandriva, I got the error after installing Virtualbox OSE and creating my first machine, then trying to start it.
