Well -- different things on two machines.

N1: As i couldn't get to setup the vboxdrv, I had to remove the VB through the 
Kpackage, including a bunch of obsolete packages. Rebooted and installed it 
again (the karmic 3.1 version is there). Then -- all works fine.

N2. Apparently this machine has kept the old kernels, which I had to remove 
with apt-get autoremove. Reboot. Then run vboxdrv setup and the VB resumed 
normal operation.
