19 You've updated your kernel, and you need to rebuild the modules, WHICH
20 DOES NOT HAPPEN BY DEFAULT.

22 So, set your default kernel to the currently running one, and "emerge
23 virtualbox-modules". If that doesn't work, in my case it was I over-rode
24 the default make options so
25
26 "EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPS = "" emerge virtualbox-modules"
27
28 and if that doesn't work, well, I'm out of ideas ...
