Do you have RPMFusions's VB or the one from Oracle's repo? I found
RPMFusion's build problematic as they provide modules through kmod. Akmod
can automatically build modules for you.

So I have switched to Oracle's version. It comes with /etc/init.d/vboxdrv
that you could run manually to build the modules using following command.

/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
