I had the same error, but I found a way to fix it.
You can fix this by installing the linux-headers-generic or
linux-headers-generic-pae packages for the kernel you use.

My issue may have been different (although it was the same error
message). I think in the transition from virtualbox-ose* to virtualbox*
packages, something got messed up and vboxdrv was lost. Uninstalling the
virtualbox-ose* packages and installing the virtualbox* packages seems
to have fixed it.
Just got bit by this on upgrade to Oneiric. It complains that I need to
install the virtualbox-dkms package and then load the vboxdrv kernel
module, but the package is installed and vboxdrv is nowhere to be found.

Title:
I've had a chance to re-boot and re-test this, and now I have the device, and
virtualbox seems to function correctly.
I suspect that my issue above may have been a result of having built/installed
the modules after having been running for quite a while.
