I always get driver errors and it doesn't go anywhere next!!
i used `rpm2cpio virtualbox.rpm virtualbox.tcz| grep cpio -id` to make fast conversion,also did the same with deb2sce - result is driver errors anyway!
 :'( :'( :'( :'(
I get that my kernel version is different from which vbox is built for, that's my dead end to solve anything! :(

Not that I would have any idea but.. Exact error message would be a start though.

Exactly - using packages from other distros on tinycore runs the risk of incompatibilities anyway, but anything involving kernel drivers will almost never work.

You could try using dCore, otherwise vbox would need to be compiled on tinycore.
