I installed virtualbox on an amd64 host and when I start the application it complains that the module is not loaded:
Code:
# virtualbox
Error: vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded...
Please load the module before starting VirtualBox.


So I modprobe that and get this error:
Code:

# modprobe vboxdrv
FATAL: Error inserting vboxdrv (/lib/modules/2.6.20-vs2.2.0-gentoo/misc/vboxdrv.ko): Invalid argument


Code:
# equery l virtualbox-modules

Did you rebuild/update your kernel and forgot to rebuild the virtualbox packages perhaps?

No. It did not work with my previous kernel so I built a new one, rebooted and reemerged the module and got the same error.

Thanks, I'll try that. I did see a mention of that in the emerge but I assumed it would not cause this type of problem...

[EDIT]That worked. 8) [/EDIT]
