Actually, I think I just figured it out. The new way of loading |
| 36 |
modules re Baselayout/OpenRC I think requires that we tell it what |
| 37 |
kernel version we're loading the modules for. I'm on the wrong machine |
| 38 |
right now but this machine has this sort of stuff in |
| 39 |
/etc/conf.d/modules: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
k2 ~ # cat /etc/conf.d/modules |
| 42 |
# You can define a list modules for a specific kernel version, |
| 43 |
# a released kernel version, a main kernel version or just a list. |
| 44 |
#modules_2_6_23_gentoo_r5="ieee1394 ohci1394" |
| 45 |
#modules_2_6_23="tun ieee1394" |
| 46 |
#modules_2_6="tun" |
| 47 |
#modules="ohci1394" |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I'm guessing I need to modify this file to tell it to load the vbox |
| 50 |
modules for 3_0 kernels.... |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Would you concur? |

Cheers, |
