In my attempt to run VirtualBox in Debian 8 I got:
alex@server-2:~$ virtualbox
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
available for the current kernel (2.6.32-042stab126.1) or it failed to
load. Please recompile the kernel module and install it by
sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.

In my attempt to follow this suggestion I got:

My kernel version:
alex@server-2:~$ uname -r
2.6.32-042stab126.1
My linux-headers:
alex@server-2:~$ dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-headers
linux-headers-3.16.0-4-amd64 install
linux-headers-3.16.0-4-common install
linux-headers-amd64 install
In my attempt to get right linux-header I got:
alex@server-2:~$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-2.6.32-042stab126.1
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-2.6.32-042stab126.1'
Then I tried to upgrade my linux kernel in order to be consistent with linux-headers
alex@server-2:~$ sudo apt-cache search linux-image

That seems that I have newest version. Now I have no clue what to do next in order to fix my problem with running VirtualBox. Do you have any suggestion?
