Description
Failing of /sbin/vboxconfig due to failing module load results in the feedback
$ sudo /sbin/vboxconfig vboxdrv.sh: Stopping VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Starting VirtualBox services. vboxdrv.sh: Building VirtualBox kernel modules. vboxdrv.sh: failed: modprobe vboxdrv failed. Please use 'dmesg' to find out why. There were problems setting up VirtualBox. To re-start the set-up process, run /sbin/vboxconfig as root.
However, dmesg doesn't reliably show the reason for the failure, in my case it contains no new message in comparison to dmesg executed right before running /sbin/vboxconfig whereas sudo modprobe -vvv vbox* shows the reason for the failure:

Please note that I'm requesting a fix for the feedback of the script, not the issue shown in the output of modprobe.
