When dnf installing virtualbox it installed: kernel-devel-4.20.14-200.fc29.x86_64
...but my kernel is: kernel-core-4.20.13-200.fc29.x86_64
So naturally virtualbox crashes with:
$ LANG=C virtualbox WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module available for the current kernel (4.20.13-200.fc29.x86_64) or it failed to load. Please try load the kernel module by executing as root
dnf install akmod-VirtualBox kernel-devel-4.20.13-200.fc29.x86_64 akmods --kernels 4.20.13-200.fc29.x86_64 && systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service
You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
The 4.20.13 devel package seems missing:

Hi did you try to update your kernel or do a general update? dnf update kernel or dnf update or a downgrade of kernel-devel? dnf downgrade kernel-devel

RESOLVED!

The system was fully updated at the time (6 hours ago).
Now the rest of the kernel*4.10.14* rpms are available and I just updated wih no problems. Virtualbox now works.
All's well that ends well. I guess.
