I used to build everything into kernel as well but the kernels are
getting bigger and bigger.  To a point that on my old installation (the
box is abut 7-years old) my /boot partition can only accommodate one
kernel :-/

So I tried build it as module.
 modules="vboxdrv vboxnetflt vboxnetadp vboxpci it87"

did not make any difference.
