Error in virtualbox: "No suitable vboxnetflt module for running kernel found"

If you get this error during boot on console:
"No suitable vboxnetflt module for running kernel found"
and you are unable to run any virtual machines inside virtualbox, then you are missing the linux kernel required to run this version of virtualbox.

This log (from debian lenny) provides some useful information (Lines 90, 91, 92, 108, 109, 110 are worth noting):

So, find out the version of linux kernel you need and install it using your package manager.

Thanks to folks at #debian, #vbox (at freenode) for help.
