[SOLVED] Module not found after upgrade

Last night I decided to upgrade to lts version (3.14). After that I found that virtualbox modules are not loading (during boot and also manually).
When I try to run

modprobe vboxdrv

It gives me

modprobe: FATAL: Module vboxdrv not found.

Previously I was using non lts version (which was also 3.14) and everything was working fine.
Any idea what's happening here ??

Re: [SOLVED] Module not found after upgrade

Did you install the lts version of the virtualbox modules?

Re: [SOLVED] Module not found after upgrade

Rebuild the module against 3.14.14?

I guess that's the only solution.

Not found doesn't mean it needs rebuilt, it means you need to run depmod -a

@Scimmia Thank you very much. 'depmod -a' worked.
