Virtualbox error - Kernel driver after Centos Update

On my Centos7 box, after an update I lost the kernel sources.  Virtualbox would no longer start a VM due to updates requiring a recompile.

Running  usr/sbin/rcvboxdrv setup 
showed some errors in cat /var/log/vbox-install.log
After removing & reinstalling kernel sources and running above command again, Virtualbox recompiled the kernel.

yum remove kernel-devel gcc
yum install kernel-devel gcc

Unfortunately this may remove some dependencies also, backup your environment!

Then had to reboot to avoid the "Creating a process..." message for VirtualBox.
