stop systemd from trying to load vboxdrv

I installed virtualbox a while ago, and I decided to delete it because it wasn't needed. Anyway, it constantly get this sort of nonsense

● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2014-09-10 16:08:56 BST; 12s ago
     Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
           man:modules-load.d(5)
  Process: 2877 ExecStart=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 2877 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Now all I want to do is stop it, and I'm getting driven barmy by it because nothing anywhere says how to stop this. I can't blacklist because the modules don't exist to be blacklisted.

Sep 10 15:53:48 mysystemname systemd-modules-load[481]: Failed to find module 'vboxdrv'
Sep 10 15:53:48 mysystemname systemd-modules-load[481]: Failed to find module 'vboxnetflt'

Will someone please assist me, in order to stop this utter annoyance from continuing. It's making my system look broken when it isn't and its bugging me to no end. Anyone who helps me will receive my eternal gratitude. Help me to stop systemd from trying to load these modules...PLEASE :'(

Delete the appropriate file in /etc/modules-load.d/ .

Sounds like you uninstalled virtualbox but forgot to undo some configuration changes.

Re: stop systemd from trying to load vboxdrv

General advice: it's a good idea to keep track of manual configuration, as this won't be removed by pacman -R. How you decide to do that is up to you, but it will definitely help you avoid being driven barmy by the utter annoyance of a broken-looking system bugging you to no end.

agreed - I have a plain text file, if I change something that will probably break something else in the future, it goes in there, with a datestamp. it's come in very useful on a few occasions!
