Do the following, which should resolve it regardless of using the OSE or 
the non-OSE version:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`

(Or do them each as seperate steps) followed by

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdev setup

Two kernel upgrades back I had to reinstall virtualbox from the 
latest.deb (I'm running the non-OSE version), but the above worked for 
me yesterday.
