This is not a kernel problem. If anything it is related to the ubuntu
desktop or server seed.

  missing drivers on trusty iso for virtualbox

Bug description:
  The iso for trusty lacks the virtualbox-guest-dkms package and hence
  cannot be tested or used under virtualbox without an internet
  connection.

  affected version: amd64 daily build as of march 3 2014

  expected behavior: virtual-box-dkms must be installable from the iso
  directly as it is a necessary open source driver.

  Rationale for inclusion:
  VirtualBox is the only only cross platform virtual machine that is both open source and capable of running Unity3d or Gnome Shell. Without this driver, Unity is completely unusable in the default installs on virtualbox.
