I saw that error message, which is totally wrong and misleading. It
seems to be a general "universal error" message that also appears in
case of permission problems or simply if hardware virtualization is
turned off in the BIOS.
The more verbose logs reside in the "VM VirtualBox VMs" directory.
I changed the /dev/vbox* device permissions again in Knoppix 7.4.2, when
VirtualBox is started with "startvirtualbox". Maybe this helps.

I wonder why virtualbox has so many problems compared to kvm or qemu.
:-(
Maybe converting your vbox images to kvm or qemu would be a solution?
(qemu-img convert)
