Hi Russell,

I just did same (upgraded from 5.1.30 which I have successfully 
installed yesterday) and all works fine.

No idea why it is working here and not working for you. Maybe (as an 
stupid idea) if you also have kvm installed (if not, then please ignore me):

Probably not related (I am not using kvm, an maybe VBox 5.0 do not have 
kvm coexistence problem).
