ok, so I ran sudo insmod /lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko again to get virtualbox working again then your command :
gene@amd64:~$ modprobe -r vboxdrv
FATAL: Error removing vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.24-17-generic/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Operation not permitted

so I guess that I am not permitted to run modprobe now that depmod has been run ? did I even do what you wanted me to try correctly ?
