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.

You need the kernel source installed for your kernel. The source must match the kernel you are running. To find out the kernel, in a command prompt, run the command 'uname -a' ( without the quotes ). It will return a string of information. At the beginning you will see the kernel name.
The source for your kernel should be in the repos for your distro. What are you running? Also make sure you install the kernel source to match; if you are running a 32 bit system or 64 bit system. Once the source is installed, re-run

I don't know if Debain installs source by default, or not. The error you are getting indicates it is not installed.
I would suggest you look in the package manager of Debain, see if you can search for packages on your kernel. Look for source. It has to match the running kernel. You may need help from someone more familiar with Debain. I run slackware. Package management is different.
It helps a lot, on your first post if you state the distro and version you are running, regardless of the problem. That helps us to know if we should respond or not. Distro specifics are quite different.

'The Pilgrim?s Progress' was probably the last truly popular work of English fiction,cheap beats sale, in that it appealed to all sections of society who read or heard it.
