VirtualBox VM not starting after upgrade

Don't look for the drivers on inteet, /sbin/vboxconfig builds them.

The problem was the old drivers were still present and preferred.

So I removed the old drivers and ran /sbin/vboxconfig again, this time it worked.
sudo mv /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/updates/dkms/vbox* /tmp
(Moving to /tmp instead of rm just in case)
The directory may vary, I found it in the first command in my question with lsmod then modinfo.

Then sudo /sbin/vboxconfig and it should work

The new drivers are in /lib/modules/3.16.0-4-amd64/misc/

(No need to reboot.)
