archiso in vbox, depmod after every reboot

HelloArchers,

I have a question that I have not been able to solve on my own. I build my own iso with archiso. A little while back I decided to replace vbox for qemu. Now I want to use vbox, installed it and is working, but, every time I start the iso trough vbox, I have to run depmod first, then restart the systemd-modules-load, log out of X, log back in and there I have all the vbox modules (vboxguest etc.) working.
I thought depmod.service was static, but I created a systemd service file for it, no success.
The guest-utils/modules, extensions and guest-iso packages are installed

Vbox is started trough a very standard 'xdg' desktop file, '/etc/xdg/virtualbox.desktop'

[Desktop Entry]

Exec=/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all
X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true
X-KDE-autostart-after=panel

And /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf

vboxguest
vboxvideo
vboxsf

No systemd service file and no 'VboxClient-all' in xinitrc.
This has worked since I first build this ISO, over a year ago.

Am I overlooking something, or is this way not possible anymore

These I tried, non solve it:
depmod.service I got from https://github.com/lucasdemarchi/system … od.service.
