Virtualbox requires a reboot after install to work

[Conrad Knauer]

After installing virtualbox-ose and virtualbox-ose-modules-2.6.22-14-generic, adding myself to the "vboxusers" group and attempting to run Damn Small Linux in it, Virtualbox didn't work right, giving me the error:

VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel and execute '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv start' as root.
VBox status code: -1908 (VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED).

Result Code:
0x80004005
Component:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {1dea5c4b-0753-4193-b909-22330f64ec45}

Indeed, /dev/vboxdrv did not exist. A reboot later and it did and thus worked. I don't recall the PUEL edition doing this; shouldn't the OSE version just work right away, without the need to reboot or manually run a command? (can't it do it automatically as part of the install?)

I tried uninstalling Virtualbox OSE and rebooted; this removed /dev/vboxdrv
Then I reinstalled the two packages and it was suddenly there WITHOUT needing to reboot.
Dunno how I got it to not work the first time, but it seems to work now, so I'm going to mark my bug as invalid ^_-;
