Updated the hardware support stack in 12.04 as requested by update manager.
Rebooted. Tried to start virtualbox.
This failed Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
Followed the instruction to do 
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup  
which failed as file does not exist.
So following various posts to resolve that did
apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms
apt-get purge virtualbox-dkms
apt-get install virtualbox-dkms
which failed as above.
