Puppy Slacko 5.4 as host for VirtualBox

I don't succeed in installing VirtualBox under Puppy Slacko 5.4 as host. Whenever i try to start it, it says:

Code:

Failed to open a session for the virtual machine ReactOS.

The virtual machine 'ReactOS' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1.

Result Code: NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Component: Machine
Interface: IMachine {22781af3-1c96-4126-9edf-67a020e0e858}

and

Code:

Kernel driver not installed(rc=-1908)

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 nexessary.

The file '/dev/vboxdrv' does indeed not exist, but when i try to follow the advice and run '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' i only get this:

Code:

sh-4.1# /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
Stopping VirtualBox kernel modules ...done.
Recompiling VirtualBox kernel modules ...failed!
(Look at /var/log/vbox-install.log to find out what went wrong)

Looking into '/var/log/vbox-install.log' shows this:

Code:

sh-4.1# cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
make KBUILD_VERBOSE=1 SUBDIRS=/tmp/vbox.0 SRCROOT=/tmp/vbox.0 CONFIG_MODULE_SIG= -C /lib/modules/3.2.33-4g/build modules

echo " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\
echo " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \

I tried it with three different versions:

but the result was always the same. I also tried 'make oldconfig' and 'make prepare' as suggested but this didn't have any visible effect.

The Puppy linux installation i used consists essentially of the following modules:

and i hope this is enough information to give my useful advice to get the VirtualBox running
