[SOLVED] Loading User-specified Modules [FAIL]

During the boot process, loading user-specified modules fails.  I checked my /etc/rc.conf and had the following line:

MODULES=(vboxdrv, loop)

I ran the commands below to see if the modules had been loaded... and it appears they have:

[esuhl@i7pc ~]$ lsmod | grep vboxdrv
vboxdrv              1790690  2 vboxnetflt,vboxnetadp
[esuhl@i7pc ~]$ lsmod | grep loop
loop                   18526  0

I'm no expert when it comes to Linux, so I've probably done something daft!  Can anyone suggest what might be causing the failure?

Thanks.

This always fixes it for me:

/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup

Re: [SOLVED] Loading User-specified Modules [FAIL]

As far as I know, if the OP is using Vbox modules installed from the official repo, he won't find a daemon to run in his /etc/rc.d.

Try removing the comma from MODULES; use only spaces to separate modules.

Edit: run

dmesg | grep "module-name" 

to find out what's going on.

Re: [SOLVED] Loading User-specified Modules [FAIL]

I run virtualbox-bin from the aur, and need to rebuild the modules after every kernel upgrade.

D'oh!  I knew it would be something simple!  How embarrassing!

Thanks for your help :-)
