Did you try running "service vboxdrv setup"? That
should cause it to
build kernel modules for the running kernel. I have to
do this every
time I do a kernel update.
unfortunately I can't do, when I try I get:

Do you have the dkms package installed on your system? With it a new vbox kernel module should automatically be rebuilt when the kernel is updated. I have it installed on my Fedora 12 64-bit system and it works just fine. Of course, you'll need to have gcc, kernel-headers, includes, etc. for it to work.
This may help:

Also, installing the VirtualBox repo will help, too, but it's not necessary. I have it turned off on my system, since I only use VBox for testing and evaluating OSes and software. So, I don't really need the latest release.
