I got similar errors last week or so after upgrading to Virtualbox
5.1.28 from 5.1.22 on my Wheezy 64-bit host. None of my VMs would run
either. Turned out it was due to a mismatched VirtualBox Extension
Pack. The new one (5.1.28) was downloaded, but not installed. I was
still running 5.1.22. I manually installed .28 and all is working. I
also checked I had the correct matching Guest Additions installed,
too.
NOTE: I use ONLY the VB versions from the VirtualBox repo. NOT the
versions from the Debian repos or backports.
