After getting everything set up it works fine until I reboot my system, it seems the vboxdrv kernel module or /dev/vboxdrv does not like to stay installed on my system. In order to use VirtualBox I have to run the vboxdrv setup command everytime I restart or turn on my machine.
Check if the vboxdrv init-script is properly embedded in your init-sequence.
I have a vboxdrv and a vboxnet in /etc/init.d. These do not seem to be in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, meaning there may be a missing inserv in the RPMs. I am not sure that this would solve the problem, as the script requires 'setup' as a parameter each time, not the 'start' it will get as part of the rc startup. I confess I have not looked into this more than to run the script. Maybe the 'start' entry does a 'setup' as well. I figured I was not alone and that an update would correct any omission. Which I expect will soon be the case :)

Same here, I have both vboxdrv and vboxnet in /etc/init.d and /etc/rc.d but not in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d. Anyways I applied one of the many workarounds suggested, and modprobed vboxdrv and it works fine without having to re-run the setup script. It would be nice if there will be an update to fix this problem.
