If anyone has actually succeeded in doing this, I'd be really grateful if you could help me out. I've read various posts here and elsewhere, but none of the 'fixes' listed are helping me.
Uninstalling my previous efforts and starting from scratch, here's what I get:

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.
I'd be really grateful for any advice - this is driving me nuts! I have a virtual machine on my main PC that I really need to be able to transfer to my laptop. ( On my other Mint (15 and earlier) installations Virtualbox 'just works'. it's just LMDE that giving me troubles.)
