[Solved] "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules" but PC can still boot?

For whatever reason, I'm getting a weird error whenever I boot my PC where it tells me that it failed to start "Load Kernel Modules." I've googled around and the only thing I found were people who's machines would not boot into a graphical interface anymore, yet mine boots just fine. I just did sudo pacman -Syu before rebooting my PC, only to see that error come up. This is the output I get when I run systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service as the error suggests I do:

Even though mine still boots fine into sddm, I'm very curious to know the cause. Someone else suggested to me that it could be something to do with the fact that I installed Virtualbox.

Re: [Solved] "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules" but PC can still boot?

Did you not get this error before virtual box? Also have you installed linux-headers linux-firmware? It could be trying to load a kvm module but your bios might have amd-v or vt-x (depending on intel or amd) disabled in bios. did you edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to include kvm module?

No, I didn't get it before I got virtualbox. I haven't edited any files and I'm just now installing linux-headers, once it's installed I'll syu just in case and see if the error shows up again when I reboot.

Edit: After rebooting, the error went away completely; I also noticed during the linux-headers install, it added something for virtualbox with dkms so virtualbox was in fact the cause. Marking as solved, thanks.
