It seems that after the reboot, most virtualbox devices are not created in /devices for some reason.
The symlinks are still there:
root at world:/dev# ls -l vbox*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jan 2 09:28 vboxflt -> ../devices/pseudo/clone at 0:vboxflt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Jan 2 09:28 vboxnet -> ../devices/pseudo/clone at 0:vboxnet
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jan 2 09:28 vboxnet0 -> ../devices/pseudo/vboxnet at 0:vboxnet0
But the devices are not:
root at world:/dev# ls -Ll vbox*
ls: cannot access vboxflt: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access vboxnet: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access vboxnet0: No such file or directory
So what is there?
root at world:/dev# find /dev /devices/ -name '*vbox*'
/dev/vboxflt
/dev/vboxnet
/dev/vboxnet0
/devices/pseudo/vboxdrv at 0
/devices/pseudo/vboxdrv at 0:vboxdrv
root at world:/dev#
Any ideas ?
One other point that I forgot to mention: I first installed VirtualBox on bloody in December. It ran. I then switched to stable and it ran but VBoxHeadless -v on didn't start the RDP server. No big deal as I was accessing via ssh and X. But now the above.
