The ebuild installs /usr/lib/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf which causes |
8 |
the modules to be loaded by systemd-modules-load.service. Systemd gives |
9 |
priority to similarly names files in /etc so creating an |
10 |
empty /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf should prevent them loading, |
11 |
although I'm basing that on the man page rather than actual experience. |

You could also disable the service if you don't want any |
14 |
non-hotplugged modules loaded at boot. |
