Sounds like you are referencing the same issues in this post as well: VirtualBox Kernels are not working

I think I understand your issue more clearly now. Your kernel version is from a lower release:

This is for an older release but should update your kernel to the Ubuntu 16.04 version: https://askubuntu.com/questions/364156/ubuntu-13-10-kernel-still-3-8-0-31-generic
