In VirtualBox Gentoo wiki is written that, to run VirtualBox, one should |
2 |
emerge app-emulation/virtualbox-modules and load them into memory |
3 |
either by using modprobe or by adding the following line |
4 |
modules="vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt vboxpci" |
5 |
into /etc/conf.d/modules |
6 |
|
7 |
I did nothing of mentioned above (except for emerging virtualbox-modules, |
8 |
of course) but nevertheless lsmod shows that all virtualbox-modules are |
9 |
loaded just after the boot (without even asking me if I need them): |
10 |
$ lsmod |
11 |
Module Size Used by |
12 |
vboxpci 12846 0 |
13 |
vboxnetadp 18502 0 |
14 |
vboxnetflt 17028 0 |
15 |
vboxdrv 361873 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci |
16 |
kvm_amd 2159235 0 |
17 |
kvm 480742 1 kvm_amd |
18 |
irqbypass 2808 1 kvm |

Can anybody explain me who loads virtualbox-modules without my consent |
21 |
and how I can make them loaded only when I need them (just before I am going |
22 |
to run VirtualBox, which I do not so often)? |
