I'm trying to install Virtualbox on my Acer Chromebook R11
$ uname -r
3.18.0-12438-gfa5c4dd
i cloned the source for 3.18 and followed the steps in the Build kernel headers and install Virtualbox wiki page.
everything went successful, but the kernel and image files are named like this:
So, the version appendix is 12453 instead of 12438
I think this leads to the following error, when trying to install the virtualbox modules with modprobe:
$ modprobe vboxdrv
bash: modprobe: command not found
(trusty)pitey@localhost:~/kernel$ sudo modprobe vboxdrv
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:507 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.18.0-12438-gfa5c4dd/modules.builtin.bin'
modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.
Running /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup gives the following:

Is there a way to change the version number when building the kernel headers?
