Fedora 23—VirtualBox—Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908).

Hello everybody,

I have a huge problem running VirtualBox under Fedora 23 after kernel updates. In fact, the same problems existed under Fedora 21 and 22 and as I can see, there are more users with this problem.

Constantly, after kernel updates (e.g. the last one to 4.2.8-300.fc23) my VirtualBox is broken and returning the known error Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908).

So, sometimes I just uninstall and reinstall VirtualBox and maybe there will be an update of the akmods package and VirtualBox will run again. But this always seems to be some kind of gambling. In most cases VirtualBox will refuse to run with the message you can see in my screenshot.
