Virtualbox not working after kernel upgrade [SOLVED]

Similar warning comes from trying to start virtualbox from command line:
I tried running following but it does not help:
I already had kernel-headers installed and I have now installed dkms. I also have virtualbox-kernel installed but not virtualbox-kernel-addons. Should I install virtualbox-kernel-addons?

The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.

WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (4.1.4-smp) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
Code: Select all
root[etc]# ./rc.d/rc.vboxdrv setup
Not implemented! Please use the virtualbox-kernel.SlackBuild available at SlackBuilds.org instead.
root[etc]# modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
