This could help you out
from http://neuro.debian.net/vm.html

- My VM lost mounted host directories, and display auto-resizing after upgrade

NeuroDebian VMs ship without Linux kernel headers pre-installed to minimize distribution/running footprint for one time throw-away usages of the VM. To install headers package(s) just run

sudo apt-get install -y linux-headers-`dpkg –print-architecture`

and reboot VM.

But note that 7.8.0 is not the latest ;)  now we ship 8.0.0 based on Debian jessie.
