After installing virtualbox-bin in gnome 3.8 with systemd, I can not find /etc/init.d/vboxdrv .
How to do with it? Thanks

systemd doesn't even use your initscripts. Afaik it could, but it is disabled on Gentoo by default.

If there is no corresponding systemd unit, you could write your own one. Or one for each VM.

You could use this as a base to work on:

In the case you haven't alread read it, this post might be useful:

You don't need to start service - just copy the modules for loading at boot time to corresponding folder.

I've just noticed that you use the bin package - my suggestion is to install source based package with needed use flags for extensions. That way systemd will create corresponding service upon installating virtualbox package. And don't forget the modules in systemd folder from my previous post.
Reference: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VirtualBox
Good luck!

Thanks @vasettoo, but which flag should I add? I have got:

Code:
debian / # emerge -av virtualbox

 * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
 * Use eselect news to read news items.


 * IMPORTANT: config file '/etc/portage/package.use/x11-base' needs updating.
 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES section of the emerge
 * man page to learn how to update config files.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] app-emulation/virtualbox-4.2.22  USE="additions alsa opengl pam pulseaudio python qt4 sdk -doc -extensions -headless -java -vboxwebsrv -vnc" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Thanks @vasettoo this problem is solved after executing:

Code:
emerge -1 @module-rebuild



as suggested by http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/VirtualBox

In fact I am not using binary package as you speculated. But apparently a compiled virtualbox still requires rebuilding modules after a systemd update.
