Same here. After kernel upgrade (some time ago) vboxdrv failed to
load. Reinstalling virtualbox-ose-dkms (after purge!) didn't help
either.
I had to manually remove modules from
/lib/modules/2.6.32-trunk-686/updates/dkms/ (they weren't, removed
even on purge, neither were they updated on kernel upgrade).
After that, recompilation by dkms succeeded.
