insserv: script jexec is broken: incomplete LSB comment.
insserv: missing `Required-Stop:' entry: please add even if empty.
....bunch repeated..

Ended with:
No precompiled module for this kernel found -- trying to build one. Messages
emitted during module compilation will be logged to /var/log/vbox-install.log.

Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules..done
Uninstalling old VirtualBox DKMS kernel modules..done
Trying to register the VirtualBox kernel modules using DKMS..failed
(Failed, trying without DKMS)
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules..done
Starting VirtualBox kernel modules..done

But it seems to work though I have yet to create a VM. Also it said it created vboxusers but it does not appear in Yast.
